21 Bots

Python

I just had a look at whos online this forum and there were 21 SE bots.

Some were the same, some were different.

That of course is a good sign - FORUMS GETTING SPIDERED

Maybe you should confiure the forum such that these spiders don't count as being online - it gives a false representation - unless you think it improves your site worth

Python

I think that it would improve the forum. It makes it look way more active. anyway if anyone wants to see whether they are bots or not they can view the whos online page. That will say whether it is or isnt a bot

More bots the better I agree with python, because when I come here I see like 20 people at the site and am like cool :cool:
growing is good.

i think that it would improve the forum if it telled you if the member is online and that way if you have a strong point of view about something then you can tell them and give your view.

Python

i didnt quite understand what you said. did you mean:

'It shoudl display the members that are online so that you can contact them quickly'

well if thats what you means it already does

Makes it better by making it look more active?
Cmon!

It just makes it look very unactive and not worth posting at because so many people are lurking rather than posting.

daboss

Heheh, I agree with tnt.

Gordie - what the hell are you talking about. This is a webmaster forum... Ask some questions related to that, not some BS about whether it should include a car or cooking forum...

Come on!

If you don't like it here, go somewhere else.l

Good point TNT, it might be better not to try to fool, or mislead people.
