I Really should get a life but............

Idly going through the forum and the sprint section in particular, I notice an enormous number of views and a tiny percentage of replies. The JISC thread had 10,000 + views yet there's only a handfull of participants :confused: Who are these viewers? Search robots? Is JISC code for some perverted sex act that misdirects Googlers to BigPower? Or, could it be potential participants who will suddenly show themselves ready for next season?

Anyway, the events section seems to attract a great deal of interest so lets hope it's the latter :D

yep - all of the above :D

each time a user (whether real or bot) goes into the thread it adds to the number

I appreciate that Dunk but the 'Events Section' sees the heavier traffic by far so, wouldn't that suggest real people? Wouldn't bots be less discerning? :D

Gerry - have you got a 'bot' obsession ? :)

Havent had a chance to examine it thoroughly to be honest but it makes sense that people read more than they post.

There are quite a few people who like to have a look at threads but then decide that they don't really have anything to say about the subject that is worthwhile posting. Myself included. :)
I may be getting older but I REFUSE to grow up :D
