uff: user count

Sat Feb 01, 2014 5:26 pm

In total there are 28 users online :: 0 registered, 0 hidden and 28 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes)

Five hours ago it's been one user (probably me ... ).
Been a while i've seen that much.

Not that it would mean anything. Just chatting due to being slightly bored.

that "statistic" is sooooo misleading

it's just a "humanized" version of conveying:
the phpbb script handling refracta.freeforums.org has recieved http requests from 28 distinct IP addresses during the past 5 minutes

Yeah, no one is logged in (hold that thought) and...
21 of the page requests were placed by bots/crawlers, and 7 were pings received to check rss feeds.

0 registered users online? Were you not logged in when you read that statistic?
Because many of the forums I visit feature scrolling chat windows and I pay zero attention to those...
...I've learned the hard way (people trying to chat jumping to conclusion that I'm ignoring/snubbing them, personally)
to }}UserControlPanel}}Hide my online status.

FWIW, at the moment, I'm seeing
In total there is 1 user online :: 0 registered, 1 hidden and 0 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes)


Don't be bored! Get a puppy!
All that crouching, to clean up puddles n poop, it's great exercise....
