<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Merc Crazy, post: 1394821, member: 27417&quot;]Greater number of posts = greater number of bots crawling the forum to skin data.&nbsp; They rise in proportion to one another.&nbsp; It&#039;s not like they assign three bots to a forum or something... it&#039;s all mathematical algorhythms that determine how many bots will crawl a forum on a day.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not saying that there&#039;s nobody else checking out CT, I&#039;m saying that number is greatly inflated by bots and also, by the way &quot;guests&quot; are measured by most forum software.&nbsp; Let&#039;s say someone reads a CT page they found via google, hits the back button to get back to their search, and goes back on the web... well, they&#039;re still counted as a &quot;guest&quot; reading that forum/thread for 24 hours after that.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s like saying there&#039;s 800 people on the escalator at one time when 800 people have used it in the last 24 hours.&nbsp; Misleading if nothing else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
