This does not add up

Just doing a Rough Count the number of "Viewing" is less than half the "Current Active Users" count
(Circled forums having 1000 viewing or more)

Unless you physically log yourself out, you will remain logged in. Even if you completely close your browser

I can see that skewing the "members on line" count but not having any effect on the guests as they do not login.

The number of members online has continued to hover around the 470 mark and this spike in number of guests "seems" to be one of the longer sustained increases as compared to previous occurrences.

The views may be different than the active people.

The active is based over three days or somthing like that. The individual fourm views may be by the hour, or by the day.

Is there anyone other than Avery that would be able to ascertain the basis for the calculation or algorithm behind the "active" displayed number?



And still climbing

It's been almost an hour and a half since the latest highest number of users online was registered. Presently at 3:23PM Central Time it has not come off of peak very much, even now.

Whst the hell? Maybe the governments tapping into the matrix and stealing our bandwiths.

 

[Blord]

Don't say it too hard. It could be NSA monitoring program that causes such spikes.

 

[Leodahsan]

46,468

 

[Speedy78]

Well in that case GFY NSA.

Aren't ad revenues based on how many users view ads?

 

[Speedy78]

Could have people in control panel or just viewing the overall forum.

 

[hwang21]

I would think most would just be sitting on the home page laserpointerforums.com so that wouldn't show up in your counts

 

[Leodahsan]

Many people seems to be online but are not. If I close my browser, am I online? :thinking:

Some choose to hide if they are online or not, too..

(Closing my browser. Check if I'm online or not!)

[Speedy78]

Still online.

 

[Leodahsan]

The users online number isn't valid then...

Its Ave tinkering with the database to get the google ad's traffic up for more $$ :crackup:

 

[daguin]

The users online number used to count hits in a 12 or 14 hour period (I forget which).
We haven't talked about it for awhile

It is not people actually online **at that particular moment**

In the last 14 hours X number of hits have been recorded

It may even be a different time period now

I'm sure that it is whatever time period the ad company is looking for to judge daily hits

Peace,
