Apparently there is currently myself, David Salisbury and 35 guests online.
35 guests?! At a quarter to 4 in the morning? Are these insomniacs unable to get back to sleep until they have found the answer to some obscure query concerning an ancient British sitcom? Or is the BCG some sort of internet equivalent of a shop doorway where random itinerants pitch up for the night?

I often look at the forum homepage to see who is on line but can't see the real situation.
I used to have it hid in case my old employers were stalking me. But I'm self employed now and just haven't felt the need to change it. Is it a big deal? A few people have mentioned it recently.
To be honest, I've always thought it was a bit sneaky - as if we're being spied on. Imagine if you walked into a pub, but hid in a corner and just watched your friends instead of sitting with them. Wouldn't that be creepy?
I can appreciate the point about employers, though.

Depends whether or not I've got my cock out.
People who drive small distances instead of walking. We're talking 400m here.
Quote: chipolata @ October 9 2013, 9:48 AM BSTI don't like people who flaunt their status online. They often seem distant and aloof, reproaching peoples posts with silence. They've seen the post, they're at the top of the online status leader board, but they're too haughty to come down off Mount Olympus and mingle. The swine. No, give me your cheeky lovable online status-hiders any day.
I don't see the problem with being hidden (I'm not but then I couldn't access this at work even if I wanted to), but am always puzzled who the bleedin guests are??? are they the hidden regulars? I'd say not as usually the guests outnumber the ones who are visible...but who knows?
Currently 17 members and 72...no, make that 83, guests online...what the??
I think someone with a bit more knowledge than me can help but I think some will be those little robotic spy bots that crawl around the place.
Bill ?

It used to be a lot of robots... but nowadays it seems to be actual guests. People just searching comedy etc. 80 is plausible.
If anyone does lie awake at night fuming over hidden online statuses on an Internet forum, let me know. I have plenty of problems that I would be happy to hand over.

Possibly many of the "guests" are search engine 'robots' busy cataloguing the site.
New posting on this site are often available on Google within an hour or so, which is somewhat amazing.
My boss put my teabags in the basement so now my tea tastes yukky 
I don't get why people are worried about hidden online statuses, most of the time people are not chatting instantly anyway, and anyone can see anything posted here whenever they want, it's not like it vanishes after a few minutes and people are eavesdropping.

Try standing with your feet together, turning through 120 degrees anti-clockwise then taking two paces forward.
Now do the same thing again.
And again.
Congratulations. You're now an equilateral thinker.
