Hey All,
Anyone aside from myself happen to notice the number of current 'Guests' that are visiting the TEOR?
Active Users In The Past 24 Hours online: 4 Staff Members, 15 Members, 459 Guests
Read more: theedgeofreality.proboards.com/index.cgi#ixzz28Iox44vL
Which threads do you suppose that they are reading? That's a lot of folks poking around, while hiding who they are. Any bets a lot of them are ET subjects bloggers, TV show producers, and US KGB?

Aliens...using false ID's .... the U.S. gvnmt..spying on our mind bending experiments..actually there are a lot of people who surf paranormal sites because they're interested but don't feel comfy chatting about what they don't understand. They might actually think we know what we're talking about...nope...we're just guessing too

I am tending towards 'technical glitch'.. may be some of the users logging in did not clear from memory/cache and duplicates were showing up.
Ideally.. we are 183 people. Usually at any given time on average about less than 10% will come online. This is peak traffic I am talking about.. The average range would be around 15 to 20 people max.
Now 459 is 2 1/2 times the total forum members. Let us imaging of the 459, all the 183 of our folks have turned up at the same time. That is 459 - 183 = 276 outsiders. So there has to be conversion. Usually conversion rate - when people get on some place on their own without any influence - is about 5%. Even if I took a conservative 2% of conversion, that is about 6 registrations.
Realistically speaking, the 183 of our members could not all have been on at the same time (for example, i wasn't there). Again if I applied the 10% rule and rounded off its 20 people. So the remaining all are outsiders at the time. that is a WHOPPING 439 people. Even applying conservative 2% conversion, we should have got 9 registrations.
Did not happen. Out count only increased by 1 I think. It leads me to believe it was some technical glitch therefore.
Regards, Srinivas

Ohh.. I missed something, its the past 24 hrs score. PLEASE IGNORE MY PREVIOUS ASSESSMENT. I did that for 'Current Users Online'.
If it is in the past 24 hrs, 479 as it shows now is quite normal. It takes everytime a user logins in and logs out, the guest count increments and decrements by 1. Each of that is considered as a + and -.
If I got on TEOR each time, once I browse and get on the site, that is 1 user count. Once I login, I login as member. Then I am not a user anymore. Once I logout and say I browsed other stuff, I am again a user. So in the 15 mins that I spent on TEOR, I am counted as 2 users, 1 member. The member logins - since they are counted by unique id - which in this case is your login name, the count will still be 1 in a day, regardless of how many times you login. But for a user, the system cannot identify. It may identify based on your IP but with most internet connections, the IP is dymanic (Internet Protocol Address). So every time there is a chance in IP Address, the user is treated as different.
So if I come toTEOR say 5 times in a day, I am atleast counted as 5 users. So if someone is coming on and going off, they are different users according to system.
regards, Srinivas

regards, Srinivas Hi Srinivas,
Nice info.
Let me see if I get this straight, there are appx 20 active users at this time (it seems to me) on the TEOR. What you are suggesting is that the majority of the users' ISPs are employing DHCP which in theory is changing the user's IP address, and then each time a user accesses the TEOR URL server, the user counter is being incremented once. Also, whether or not the IP address is changing each time a user logs the TEOR URL, the counter is also incremented. So, 20 users, hitting the TEOR 20 times per 24hr period is, 20 x 20 = 400 counts?
Myself, I only log in typically once per day, if log in at all. How about the rest of you? Do you log in and then out and then back again? Are you all really that obsessive? Heh heh. (Back in the 90s I was a pedigree CRT dead-head <whew>).
Oh, I should mention, here in the US, most users are using DSL modem/routers, which don't change the user's IP address between session logging. DHCP is only pooled on the local subnets routes. Its one of the tricks being perpetrated on American user privacy so that the corporate criminals out there can both track and slice up the American sales pie into sales districts. Don't click those phkn like-it thumbs, unless you desire that those criminals know everything about your InterNet browsing patterns, buying patterns, where you hang out, who you hangout with, what ya think and say...its gonna get really bad. I predict that the more you tell them now, the worse it will be in the future for you.

We usually have a little over 400 guests checking us out each day. I think people would be surprised at who some of them are. There are people from countries all over the world, lots of Feds from the DC/Virginia area, lots of MUFON people...all checking out our little ol' forum. ;D When Saudi Arabia was having their ET conference at which Stanton Friedman was speaking a while back we actually had people from Saudi Arabia checking us out. I was kind of surprised about that. I hope they learned something useful.

Absolutely - come on down. If we are interesting then it must be slow business at the watchers' desks! Most of our experiences happened decades ago. Old old news with a bit of vague orbs in pictures, flattened grass, and noises outside the tent thrown in. Ha!

Hi Plutronus,
Ohh, so everyone in the US has a Static IP? No wonder you guys pay so much for the internet then. In India we pay like 1000 Rupees for a 4 mbps home line and that's a little under $20 a month!
I am only guessing the logical possibility here. In that case, may be the system takes a session and instance.
I do come in from time to time in a day on the days I come on TEOR. I guess most would do the same. I come here say 5 times in a day and spend like 5-10 mins. May be this thing does not track your IP which makes much more sense now. I got on the site and tried the concept. I login, it says for example '3 members and 14 users online'.
Then I logout, and refresh it says '2 members and 15 users online'. Then I log back in, it again says '3 members and 14 users online'.
The gross total of the number of users is incremented by 2 in this instance. I got on first - that is 1 and then after logging out that is another - so 2 users as far as the system is concerned.
And...like skywalker has said there could be the odd person popping too. But if say 25 strangers come, Id bet my money that atleast 1 will sign up. Thats human tendency.
Regards, Srinivas

If you stay logged in, does it still count every time you come to the website??
I usually check in three or four times a day, but I don't have to log on each time.....

Three or four times a day. I haven't been on very much though the past week because I was in the big city again with my parents and I was sick and in bed for the past three days... ugh. I thought I was going to die yesterday and told my friend to call a priest... lol... I think I'm getting better now though... I think... *kaff kaff* *sneeze* *kaff kaff* ooooooooo.... need more codeine cough syrup...

*kaff kaff* *sneeze* *kaff kaff* ooooooooo.... need more codeine cough syrup... Hey Girl,
Sounds to me that you could use a cold cure, you might consider this:
coldcure.com/
It works very well...this stuff actually shortens length of the cold and it contains no candy. Nope, its not one of those gvmnt FDA approved $2.9 billion Dollar candy-medicine rip-offs (does nothing) that our cheesy Republican/Democrats big-corporation lobbied politicians have approved as 'medicine', type crapola.
ColdCure, 80 pcs, 5-gm, 18.75 mg, zinc acetate lozenges, (invented by the guy who holds the 1980's patents for zinc cold remedies), actually shortens the duration of the common cold. Its homeopathic. ~$30 for 80 pcs. Pop in 4 of them over a couple of hours, and the cold disappears. Must warn ya though, its not cherry candy, tastes like your chewin on a car bumper.
Try it, you might like this stuff, works for me.
:-)

Thanks plutronus. I'll try it next time... (i would hug you but I don't want to get you sick... ) I've been using the store brand equivalent of "Air-Born" or however you spell it... it has zinc also and about 1,000% of the daily value of vitamin C along with some herbal supplements which are supposed to help you get over a cold... and it tastes like 7up... kinda... *kaff kaff* I'm getting better though...

The way the guest numbers work is that the system keeps track of IP addresses. If you are not logged in as a member it will count you as 1 guest. If you then log in it will count you as 1 member but the guest number will still count so each member here could theoretically be counted twice. Other than that it doesn't matter how many times you log in and out it will only count the IP one time, unless you are using different computers that have different internet providers. I go through all of the guest IPs every now and then just to see where the people who are checking us out are located. Each day we probably average more than a dozen different countries and people from all over the US. We seem to be popular in the UK, Australia, China and parts of Eastern Europe. Some of the "guests" aren't actually human either. Some of them are automated web-bots and tracking cookies and stuff like that. I can tell those because there will be a bunch of IPs that are almost exactly the same except for the last few numbers. We get a lot of those from California (which is where Google is located) and Virginia (The Feds?). The number of actual living people who are checking us out each day is probably somewhere between 300 and 400. That's not bad considering we haven't really done much advertising.

Yea that codeine cough syrup medicine I was taking is actually my dad's from a few months ago. it's expired but it still works. It's just codeine and mucinex according to the label... both of which are available over the counter in Canada... probably a cough suppressant too... ~shrug~

Nope. As I understand things, only 1 counter increment per IP log-in.

Carbohydrates such as citrus, vitamin C, sugar, corn-sweetener all neutralize zinc's effectiveness in suppressing Rhino-virus propagation in the body.
Candy-'medicine' manufacturers put the word 'zinc' in their formula, simply for advertising value, as zinc has become publicly known to shorten Rhino-virus 'colds', and then, they load their product with vitamin C, sugars and other flavor 'masks', because these companies specifically don't desire to shorten colds. Shortening the duration of colds also shortens their sales by diminishing the number of people who are sick. Large groups of people who are sick with rhino-virus 'colds' coughing and sneezing continually spread the virus, often re-infecting one and another, in waves, coming and going in waves which guarantees more candy-medicine being sold. Cold-cures, help people to become well, diminishing the number of people who are sick, until no one remains ill, or to re-infect others. It shortens the span and stops the spread of the rhino-virus cold. Candy zinc 'medicines' are a lie. Capece?
Historically, all of the companies who have introduced zinc based cold-remedies that work, one by one are put out of business in various manners. Some have been priced out of the market by chemical suppliers, others sued out of business due to supposed side-effects, Zicam being the most recent, while some have defied and attracted the greedy witch-hunt glare of the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) because they refused to categorize themselves as being homeopathic, and as result not allowed to advertise on national TV networks as the candy-medicine companies are allowed and others, suffered suspicious factory fires, et cetera.
The candy-medicine you cited above has two substances that neutralize zinc. It can't work as advertised. Please, don't be con'd by those stinky lying companies who load their zinc cold-remedy products with candy. If a zinc cold remedy product has citrus or sugars in it, its a con job, they are legally stealing from you...ripping you off, while pretending to help you, and simultaneously guaranteeing that their market remains safe.
Sincerely,
plutronus

According to the nutrition facts on the label of Airborne: Serving Size: 1 Tablet, Calories: 5, Fat: 0g, Carbs: 1g, Protein: 0g One gram of carbs isn't exactly "loaded" down with carbs IMO... five calories implies not very much sugar either... I'm sure the average human eats more than one gram of carbohydrates in his/her daily diet anyhow... which would also counteract the zinc in your supplement according to your information if you eat a well balanced meal instead of fasting prior to and following the ingestion of the zinc... ~shrug~ According to what I've been reading on the internet about zinc most people seem interested in the effects it has on testosterone. Apparently taking a zinc supplement will help you grow facial hair faster and help you build muscles by stimulating your testicles to produce more testosterone... lol! Apparently a lot of athletes take zinc supplements instead of steroids now... and men who are afraid they are going through "male menopause" and are losing their masculinity due to advancing age... ~shrug~ I'm tired of reading articles about facial hair and testicles. I think I'm going to bed...

I used to be able to see which topics people were viewing most often and what time of day people were visiting and a bunch of other really cool and useful information but Proboards cancelled that part of the admin functions because the company that was providing the service went out of business. They said they were going to replace it with a new service but they still haven't done it yet. In the meantime I am just sitting here twirling by thumbs looking for something to do...
