    I have never noticed this until now. But click to the 'Forum' tab at the top of the page, and then scroll down to the bottom, where it says "Active Users".

    This morning, I noticed there were 44 or so active members, and over 100 guests (unregistered users who read and dont post.)

    O_O. HAHAHAH. Wow.

    What do you guys think about this? Is it something that is new? or is it something that I have just noticed now???

    (Remember to watch what you are saying, [there are people watching our every move])

    By the by, if you are a guest reading this, don't be afraid to sign up, and dive into the intense EC action. Heh.

    Haha! Also, if you click on an online user's page, you can see exactly what he's doing at that time. Like, "Viewing Chit Chat," or whatever.

    I noticed that before. I even used to be one of them, but only for a week or so....

    I'm sure there are a lot of people who are still to afraid to talk about some topics in this forum. To register here has a lot to do with accepting who you are.

    Maybe when they're ready they'll come around

    I don't mind being watched...like...whatever.:dry:

    but people who join EC join because they have confident in people who are like them to interact with. Now i am sorry, but i am going to be 100% me; i know exactly what i say and when i say it and i WILL NOT put on a show of my personality to attract people to EC.

    Personally, we can't all be perfect :dry: so, why not market ourselves with reality rather than morality. huh?

    lets all take a stand together as stakeholders and be ambassadors for a site of greater good!:grin:

    They're probably just checking out the site because they need somebody to talk to.

    Talk to us, strangers!

    Haha.. That sounds funny out loud.

    Obviously I am not going to sensor myself, and I don't think anyone here should (as long as we remain respectful). I think that the contriversial thoughts here at this site are what makes it so interesting. I think that is the very reason that it is growing so much. There is such a powerfully diverse range of opinions here, and I think that is the reason I keep coming back. I mean... sometimes we might get a bit heated over some subjects (I am definatly guilty of this) but I think thats what makes this site so interesting.

    Honestly, its cool to think that the things that we say affect people everywhere, people we don't even know.

    Love you guys.

    You could claim you are being watched more though. Having spiders watching you and sending info back to their search engines is a lot more stalkerish than the average guest. :grin:

    Even still though, 13 guests is pretty cool (not nearly as cool as 100).

    Aren't there also computers that are recognized as guests? So only about 10 are actual guests.
