Have you ever looked at the bottom of a thread where it tells who is in the forums?

There are around 6 members right now and 161 guests.  I am curious as to why so many people who are not members would be in these threads.

Anyone else ever noticed that.

I've noticed that.  I thought you had to be a member to visit this forum...I guess not.

never considered it crucial

I have noticed it before. Usually not many people are on when i post
anyone can visit the forum. However only logged in members can reply to the posts.

Hm....interesting observation....not sure why someone wouldn't just become a member....it's a FREE site

 :cat:No I never noticed that and would not think anyone who wasn't a member would even be able to get into the forum and is is kind of unnverving.  I can't imagine why they would want to be here or what they could be getting out of it.  I am not sure I think they should be able to unless they are members.

No you just have to be a member to post in the forum.  And anyone can sign up.

I guess it doesn't matter but I agree.  I think you should have to be a member to access the site.

I guess FC wants to wet non-members whistles first.They access the forum and enjoy what they read and decide then they would like to be a part of it.

Then there are those that wanna just get all the dirt and are satisfied without participation.

Thats why i eventually joined.......i wanted to be a part of an on-going soap opera.

Too bad a couple of the players are gonna get the ax!

     Never noticed it!

I have noticed it before and figured it was people who  were looking to see if they might want to join up.

[dreamyxo]

Nope never noticed.

Maybe they just wanna know what people are saying and have in common ? Maybe Lol

Maybe.  I just don't know why 150 people who are not members and cannot comment would be doing just randomly reading the forums.  And then you have like 6 members logged in. Just seemed odd to me.

One possibility is that they are members of FC, but never signed up for the forum and are interested in what is being discussed. Or they are members and just not signed in to forum part of FusionCash.

I was a member for years before I signed up for the forum, just saying.

On another note, I found this in the archives:

The guests might not be people at all, but bots. There are programs that trawl around online, gathering info like emails from websites. That's why it's a good idea to write them like trucktina at such and such dot com, instead of the normal way.
