Title: I wonder why?
Post by: Wolvenar on March 07, 2012, 09:07:56 am
I have noticed lately that a large number of people with user accounts browse as guests.
Is there a technical problem, or is it there is pressure to not be seen on this forum?

If anyone has forgotten their password or in need of other assistance,

remove the "dot" obviously , this is to try to slow down email harvesters that will spam it to death.

I have my visibility turned "off" or I think I do so maybe that is an option to be cloaked?

Anyway, doesn't seem to be anything to be concerned about. If I wasn't one of the original rebels I would never sign in, either.  ;D :D

Never tested it and I think admins can see everyone cloaked or not?

 ;D  Guilty as charged.   If I would have known the forum police were patrolling heavy, I would have gone into super-stealth mode. ;)
Not that I know how!

Personally, I've been working at home lately and it's just a routine. Have a few sites I scan through and go on. I could stay always logged on if I'm messing with any stats or anything.

Observation: There seems to be a larger than normal percentage of Kevins on the board?????

If I am at work I will appear as a guest (I think) until such time as I log in to post or reply.

I don't normally login as gust, but if i do  its because of my highly un-rememorable password that I was forced to use at sign on..

  Can't help you, don't remember ever doing it.  I do sometimes look at who's reading the same post,
and have seen x number of guests.

Was just an observation I happened upon when I was making sure things were working as they should.
A few things kinda seemed worth investigation, this was one of them.

I was hoping it was not a problem, seems it is not.

Again thanks for the replies, it helps me be sure all is working as intended.

I will sometimes get on the forum wearing a Clown Nose.
Not sure if you can tell it's me or not ?

Q. How do you know when there's a clown in the room?
A. It smells funny!

   It's a funny thing how the mind does associations:
   When I see Ghurd's name, I see his big toe :)
   When I see Woof's name, I will see his face, with clown's nose :)
   When I see Chris's name I see him with a name tag sticky on his forehead :)
   I think right now, that it is a good thing that I have never seen a pic of Tom, or Ross :o
   Maybe I just need more coffee. ;D

No beard these days (it varies) and not much hair either.

This may give some bad dreams but it is me and Maggie.

OK, now TomW kind of scares me, again.
I thought I got past that phobia.

Anything made of lead over 7/16" dia flying at me at past the speed of sound still scares me.

Well, I pulled off the AimPoint sight since that picture was taken. It was on there for deer hunting at longer ranges but mostly gets in the way for anything else like using a holster or quick target acquisition. I typically kill whitetails at  30 feet or less using the ATV ( I have a disabled permit to shoot from vehicles).

She is not a tack driver but can hit a dinner plate in single action mode reliably as well as most folks can hit with an iron sight 12 gage smooth bore. If you can prop it up anyway (it tips the scale at 4# with that 8" barrel loaded).

We call them punkin slingers here in the hinterlands. JHP slugs expand to the size of nickels, too with my "hot" HP38 and 240 grain hollow points load.
