10 members and 261 guests

Thats a lot of guests. I notice this site gets a LOT of guests.

Are they members who don't want to log on because they don't want to be seen?

Are they members who can't log on because they are at work?

Are they banned members/members on a long time out?

Curious non-butch-femme folk?

What do *you* think?

And don't say "I don't care" - its fluff. Maybe its Aliens or the Illuminati.

(I finally have 5 days off YEAY!!!!! and I'm supposed to be doing school work for those days, so of course I thought I'd pop in before I start and piddle around briefly before rolling up my sleeves for the grind...)

I imagine most of them are bots.

School work? Thought you were done. Do you have to do continuing education? Keep updated on???

Bots, that never crossed my mind.....now I`m wondering just how many are bots.

Oddly enough I was just pondering why its so often such a difference between guests and members viewing the site when I was logging on and then I saw this thread ! I wondered why if there is such interest we dont see that many new members posting though I do notice the `welcome to our newest`member message on the home page often enough but not many seem to post as far as I am aware. If Martina is correct and most of the guests are bots then the site is even quieter then I realised.

Sometimes I leave the page up in safari after I log out on my phone if I’m in a hurry. But safari isn’t left open so I don’t know if that would show as a guest or not. I log in to browse though so again... Not sure.

Every two years I have to complete 24 credits worth of education. I've don't most of it, but they have made a social media course mandatory this year because there are so many younger practitioners qualifying past the Boards. Its now seen as a desirable first career for 18 year olds when they leave school (I dunno, you get about 12 years absolute max before you blow your body if you are extremely careful, except for the *very* lucky few).

And they are doing really stupid shit like friending patients on their personal (not professional) FB page :s

They aren't even separating having a professional page from a private, locked down, unsearchable, private page. Der.

And the images they post :s of themselves!! holy cow newbies! You can't do that! Medical Field! *Face palm*

So, because of the giant stupid, we ALL now have to do 2 MANDATORY on line courses due Oct 31st. Hoorayyyy... I had already booked my holiday, but now I have to spend it doing school work. Hooorayyyy.

I agree. On another forum, there's usually WAY more "guests" or bots online than registered members. On that site it even says, "# members", "# guests", "# robots". The number of robots are always in the hundreds (usually).

They could be bots or they could be real live human beings. Eeek!

Depends on how Admin has the landing (home) page set up … as in … is it searchable or not searchable. <-- that is my recollection from years past on how one can set up a forum and/or website. Either way, Admins can (usually) tell if each "visit" is a person or a bot. Web traffic is important data!

JDeere · 10-19-2018, 08:34 PM

Honestly i don't care. Thats for the admin to deal with. Shrugs

Lyte · 10-19-2018, 09:01 PM

Now JD... we were specifically instructed not to say "I don't care."

Embrace the fluff!

Engage the fluff!

Be the fluff!

lol
