PhilosipherStoned Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Maybe so but it was kind of annoying seeing the board go from all the usual members to like... Philosipher_Stoned and 75 guests when things die down in the dead of the night because everyone just kinda starts casually lurking and hitting the refresh button to see if anything has changed. I had my account set to stay logged in for a while until it get reset when I made my alt for some reason. That's what brought people in..ha! Rich! I really don't think guest viewership is a neccessary feature, but I can kinda see what you mean. If I'm thinking about signing up for a forum I'm not familiar with I usually try to see what kind of content is posted, and what the memberbase is like, but until all the annoying kinks get worked out it's probably for the best that only the registered members that already know whats going on with that use it. That's like a real estate agent trying to sell you a house that still has the building crew all over it and pieces of the framwork showing.

K_N Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 None of the guests were actual people. 90% of the visitors were spambots with IP addresses in Russia and China. The rest were search engine bots like Yandex and Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 the only real reasons we ever needed guest views was so that unregistered SNs could post on Password Recovery and so that the entire world could read Sponges fanfiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misaka Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 the only real reasons we ever needed guest views was so that unregistered SNs could post on Password Recovery and so that the entire world could read Sponges fanfiction. Why not just use the backup for that use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1938 Packard Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 You mean your alts? Who is gunstarhero, for instance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaBarney Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Who is gunstarhero, for instance? So your proof to support your idea that people with no connection to the asmb have found this place independently and registered after browsing as guests is to cite a user from the asmb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthor Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Not only was this place better when unregistered guests could read, it was better when the members could read. Now we just sit around and look at the little bugs on the screen - thank God for emojis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naraku360 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 We have some new names and people who don't act like ASMBers. The "new names" are old users with new names. Some are people who left years ago and came back because they were told about this place. I can't think of a single actually new user to show up.

There are some new people who were invited by asmbers, but that has fuck all to do with Packard's point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
