My guess as to the percentages, based on doing a little IP comparing from time to time, is that about half of our guests are regulars who don't have accounts. The other half are a mix of the other three groups. There is never more than one GoogleBot spider on the site at any given time, though he is here quite frequently.

Wasn't the most users ever on 50 really early on in NH history? I could've sworn it got lost after the overhaul or something.

Edit: damn. I was hoping that the color tag would hide the "Langley edit this post on......"

That was due to a quirk in GoogleBot, actually. It failed to close connections properly and showed up as a couple dozen simultaneous users on forum sites. They fixed it pretty quickly. I reset the statistics because it was lame.Wasn't the most users ever on 50 really early on in NH history? I could've sworn it got lost after the overhaul or something.
Airsoft999, what exactly are you having trouble with there? I'm talking about people who have registered but are 'signed out' and show up as guests.

I could say:
Our guests are mysterious people.
and:
Guests is one of the two categories in the online user view.
and both are correct and appropriate.

That, kids, is why you don't question the use of grammar in Cx's posts. I think alot of us are perfectly competent of the English language, and we needn't just blurt out "Ohh! You made a mistake! I could still read your post, but it's a mistake!" where cleary, you just need to think about how the word is being used in the conext of the sentence.I was talking about a category in my forum software, singular, not a bunch of people I don't know, plural.

Cx' could've said " 'Guests' is people without accounts." Making 'Guests' an object, a singular word that implies a plural. It's hard to explain, but by adding those ' ' it makes alot more sense to the brain. "The 'Guests' are people without accounts." could've been used aswell, but since the former is direct from the text, it works.
Wow, I've been gone a week (computer problems) and my first post back is a grammar lesson that will most likely be shot don't quite quickly if I'm not careful.
Not in the game anymore, but it was great while it lasted. Thanks for the great years of fun, NH!
