    Default It was brought to my attention at the Vallejo 1-2

    That a lot of SSS'ers know about the forum, will read it, but won't post on it.
    Or know, but won't read it.
    Or don't even know about it.

    Should we be making an effort to change that?

    Consider the implications of people attempting to click on it.

    Aren't Southern Raiders enough trouble?

    There are currently 944 users on; there were as many as 3200+ on last month at one time.
    Clearly, the few who do post are entertaining to a larger audience.

    Don't whistle for a wind.

    Those 'users' will predominately be web crawler software and have little to do with people reading content.

    A more useful metric would be the number of forum members active, and for a given thread, the member login-ins that have viewed a particular thread.

    For example: there are currently 3 members looking at the forum and 1422 users, and 12 members have looked at this particular thread in the forum.

    More usefully, there are 46 members that actively use the forum out of 1,100 total forum members created . 46 suggests the forum is not the best way to get information out to the SSS membership.

    Another one of my long held fantasies crushed.
    This is such an informative place!
    Thanks, Rob.

    Hi Rob ,
    I'll bite: so what's a "web crawler" and what are they doing on SSS Forum? Can we get them to join?

    This.

    but is there another way? I haven't been to a Wednesday night SSS meeting in a long time because the traffic is hell.
