By my calculations....

Postby Phina on Tue Sep 03, 2002 2:42 pm

By my calculations and cunning there are at least 22 registered users who visit this site regularly... and numerous unregistered users. Yet there seem to be only about seven people (for that is what I assume they are) who post. So what do the rest of them do? And why do they just assume a voyeuristic position on here?... creepy. I know there are some days when I just can't be bothered to write anything for the amusement of others and would rather just chuckle at what has been written- but there must be people on here who never ever ever contribute. So why did they register? The polls aren't that fun (sorry James)! And then why do the large volumes of unregistered peeps visit? There must be all sorts out there. Hmmm.

Erm, strangely I had the same thought earlier and concluded, after a bit of pottering about, that it's coz u can vote from all of the diff message boards. That way there's prob enough peeps about to make up the numbers.

Phina... you might want to put George Bush's name after the quote... don't want to seem like an Essex girl really... speaking of which, did u tell everyone who u were in the end?

My you are in a bitchy mood today aren't you Simpleton? No I didn't tell people who I was. I'd publish it in my profile if I wanted them to know.

I'll say again- in similar wording-
Surely voting on the polls isn't that thrilling that people feel the need to register soley for that?

You're probably right. I just took a rough guess at numbers... there certainly aren't over twenty regulars though are there?

There are a lot more posters during term time though. Probably due to having free internet access and no jobs.

Generally I only post on two accounts. One is if there is a new thread which takes my interests and if, as usual, someone has written something that annoys me - for example that post that we were all prince william obsessed. The other is GarySoc. Which brings me nicely onto my post. Oli, did you ever get my nice little review for the GarySoc section of the sinner?

It's not uncommon on the web - lots of people lurk. Who knows why, it's just the way things are.

I won't mention the fact that 7 happens to be a number with only 2 factors :P

I have tried several times to post, but, errm... couldn't figure out how to do it. Thought you needed to be a user, even though I see the prolific Unregistered User all around here.
Geez. And they've already let me graduate with a number of degrees. Geez.
Well, I'm blonde and an American, so that doesn't speak too well of me, fellow blondes or Americans, now does it?
Anyway, hi :)
I will be a postgrad in just a few weeks (emailing you now from sunny Northern CA [that's AmeriSpeak for California, not Canada ;)]), and I've been reading messages somewhat regularly on this board, oh, since about July.
Now that we've been properly introduced, I look forward to actually perhaps posting once in a while.
