An Interesting Realization...

[KennyFlys]

I was just taking a peek to see if there were any new posts. When I went back to the main screen, I happen to notice this at the bottom:

Most users ever online was 578, June 29th, 2007 at 04:33 AM.

Just below that is this:

Threads: 15,028, Posts: 205,671, Members: 2,075

So, at the early morning time of 4.33AM EDT on a Friday morning, more than one-fourth the total board's members were logged on, simultaneously?

Is this a fluke or are there that many insomniac pilots with no desire to be sleeping and no other life than to be online?

Users <> Members.

Users are anyone looking at the board. Members are registered people signed in at the time.

So there would just have had to be 578 distinct IP addresses looking at the board, which, given the number of spammers, spyware sites, porn sites, ad sites, and not least, the numer of legitimate search engine type sites... 578 isn't surprizing. At that time of day, probably not one of them was a real human.

Oh my... an artificial intelligence made a post in my name while I was sleeping this morning!

Well, there are some folks that say that's what happens EVERY time a post shows up in your name!

I saw William logged on at 3.30AM this morning.

Obviously, Chuck's more knowledgeable about there not likely any humans.

Don't you remember being required to submit a DNA sample upon registration?

We just like to keep track of who's Martian, who's Venutian, and who's Earthling here.

What about the Plutonians and the Saturated (Hayden's fellow bar hoppers)? Oh, and the Moonbats!
