    A while back I added google analytics to the forums. The last time we had this was just before we upgraded to vB3 so since then it's been guestimates as to how many users we actually got daily.

    This is an image of the graph from October - A day or so ago. Keep in mind these visits do not count bots / crawlers.

    So who are you lurkers and what are you lurking for!

    I doubt they'd be targetting this site. They rarely did and they have no way to register.

    They're all confused fans of the reality T.V. show Big Brother wanting to roleplay their favorite characters.

    Hmmm, that spike of 50 is basicly people who had never been here before?

    Freaky

    I'll need to look up on a "Theory" I have as to why it spiked within those few days and then went back to the norm, though doubt its what I think it is, its a time killer! And thats what really counts!

    Edit: Curses nothing panned out, least it killed some time

    Well it's not just the spike, it's overall. We're going over 110 unique visitors per day (not including crawlers).

    As in, every day unique (e.g. I visited yesterday, now today I count in as one of those unique people today), or straight-up unique (I visited yesterday, so I don't count as one of the unique people today)?

    Those are bing bots. I saw it one time when I looked at who was online out of 11 people, 9 of them were bing bots.

    Does it count guests? because if it does, then they prob can't reply to this thread.
