More people are shy than we account for. I used to be.

Perhaps there is just soooo much information here that people just search and read instead of posting new questions and engaging.
Lurkers are people too!

sophisticated bots on zombie machines that legit IPs?

No, the question was not meant to criticize. I was just puzzled because the forum can be read by anyone. Lurk to your heart's content, and you don't need to be a registered user for that.

In my mind, one will go through the trouble of registering only because they have an urge to say something. Because of that understanding, I always try to approve a new registration as fast as I can. I'll pull over on the side of the road if needed to. But then most of these new registrations never return. And I don't think they are mostly bots because even when I try to approve fast, I do my extreme vetting and usually the information checks out fine. Occasionally, I can even find the real person.

As I said, it's just a mystery to me.

Would it be better to open up the search feature to allow anyone to search the forum instead of having to be a registered user? That may be the main reason you have many people registering, but not actively taking part in the forum.

Yo, cultural attache, you get ten seconds (and no recourse to the internet): Who first said your quote and what did he say it about?

Good point. I just opened up the search to guests as well. Thanks for pointing that out, Sean! It escaped me as members here are forever logged in, so we don't experience the pain. Let's see if that makes a difference.

oh bummer. That means posts are now indexed by the search engines, along with time and date stamps, yes?

mynameismud · « **Reply #29 on:** March 17, 2017, 12:28:07 PM »

you mean publicly indexed.

Mungie smells like salty balls!

So now Google has preserved that statement?

sure, but to say that is redundant. Search 'engines' are public tools, which is not the same as an index in a db.

F4? WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!!!!!

F4? · « **Reply #33 on:** April 30, 2020, 02:59:29 PM »

Thanks Noal, it's great to join a forum with so few people who know so much about the Pinnacles.

I hope to gain valuable, yet semi-worthless information..

Maybe the Admin will sponsor Clint to post up?

All sites are indexed it is just a matter of whether or not the data is shows up in search engines
