Just out of curiosity when the forum is showing as at present 6 members and 52 guests, are a large % of the guests members who have not fully logged in.

The guests could be people who have found the site via Google (or any other search engine) and are just browsing the free sections but they obviously cannot post as a guest. I think the number of guests also includes various search engine spiders that are used to automatically keep the search engines up to date with what's out there on the web.

I no this will sound silly to most and it probably stems from the fact that at 56 i am a late and newcomer to being online, but i often have this feeling that although i am perfectly happy to post for members,i sometimes do not feel so comfortable about anyone being able to view.Completely irrational but just being honest.
