I'm as guilty as the next guy but I noticed that there are only a few people who are logged on and over 80 anonymous users. With only 25 or so active threads going, how much more interesting it might be if all the anonymous users logged on posted a comment or two. I've notice that over the past few months the number of active threads have dropped considerably during the time I'm normally checking in.
Usually I'm using my phone just to see what the current discussion is which makes it difficult for me to interact but when I'm on my laptop or desktop most of the time I sign in unless I'm just in too big a hurry.
So, what about you guys who are reading under the shield of anonymity? Its your privilege but, do any of you have anything to say?
Anyway, hi to all ya'll folks out there in cyberland
Its more fun to be ridin'! I'm still ridin

I believe the majority of those so-called users are what my technologically literate friend the good Friar would call "bots". Some kinda search engine with a mind of it's own  . Me, not being very technologically literate and a simple minded country boy to boot, still thinks bots are a parasitic fly that lay their eggs in the backs of cattle, sheep and sometimes horses, double

I often come here to see if some thing strikes me. Some times I don't find much, but other times I find myself quite interested in a thread.
All I can say to ya is. If you want to see more posts. Post a thread about the things that you are interested in, and see who else may also be. You may be surprised.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

It’s possible the thread count dropped considerably when a couple of our members decided they had enough of the forum and scurried off into oblivion. Possibly returning at a later date with a new mask and new moniker, similar to a professional wrestler.

WOAH!!! There's about 50 anonymous viewers ALL viewing member's profiles. I just deleted my email address from my profile but it's probably too late.
Is this a DOS attack? There's several new ones each minute.

This is why I don't include any of that kind of info in any of my online profiles.

 Is there a way to lock that out if your not a member or logged on? I know on some sites, you can't see some pics(  ) if you're not logged on.

I've never been spammed on this site, but have from other stuff. This site doesn't seem to have any problems and if there are Friar takes care of them asap!
