It has recently been noticed that there are almost exactly 50 guests online at any given time. I started this thread as an attempt to get to the bottom of this strange occurence. Post your hypotheses below.

I think they may be a small task force of secret government agents from around the world monitoring the ever-growing otaku community.

I think 50 people don't have the guts to join this place.

[humnut]

Um, these 50 people have more time to waste than us, seeing as they probably just read our posts and laughs at them, then takes another hit of pot and reads some more. I'm sure they just haven't found out how to work the register link.

[stinkyfranki]

They're all here for me. They heard that a handsome devil named Franki was here. It was love at first post.

[XelaisPWN]

I've always wondered the same thing, I honestly have no idea. Why would you want to be a guest here?!? Are our stupid forum games really that entertaining to read?!?

Also, why do some people sign up then make 0 posts? You can download all the AMV Hells without signing up, so why sign up then never post?!

I DON'T UNDERSTAND! @_@

[flamingbambi]

Maybe they're my followers. They are basking in my sexiness.

[Evileel]

50 anonymous people are laughing at me everytime I posts something in these forums? O_o
Internet is weird place indeed.

[Trilobiteer]

They're all the same person o_O

[Shibbidah]

OoO

[Evileel]

Well they have different IPs. Although its possible that one person is using 50 different proxy servers to access this site. But whats the point of doing that?

[Trilobiteer]

Its obvious that all the normal people stay as far as possible from such weird and perverted place like the Internet.

Hello lurker reporting. lazy people like me want to look at threads like demotivational posters obsessively but not post any thing them selves.

[XelaisPWN]

Ah, I see. Apparently (at least some of us) are actually that funny. xD

[Evileel]

Oh, Ok I get this now too. So we are like some freak show. People likes to watch at us, but no way would join us.

[wafflegear]

one of us. one of us. gobble gobble gobble gobble...

[Shibbidah]

...This took an unexpected turn...

[XelaisPWN]

Yes. Yes it did.

But, hey, we got an answer.

[humnut]

It's the internet, everything always takes an unexpected turn.

[animemental1]

^ It's part of the rules of the internet.

[Shibbidah]

Good point.

[Fishfreeek]

actually I used to be one of those guests, but this thread made me sign up (as well as quite a few other people)

[Shibbidah]

Interesting.

[jinzo64]

maybe people don't like the simplicity of the threads and thats my they remain as guests
ot maybe theu're scared they'll become addicts.

[Evileel]

Well we have serious and complicated enough threads. But nobody is posting there.

[jinzo64]

realy we do.
were do we keep them?

[sakurafan1994]

I was a lurker until I decided that I wanted to join my fellow otakus.... I was very lonely xD
well that and the Corrupt A Wish forum, I just couldn't resist posting in it

[jinzo64]

maybe guests are people with real social lifes

[Distict5-9]

They could also simply be people that just don't know how to start... But then we also have threads like the "Lurkers get in here" one

[jinzo64]

thats true.
maybe they don't like being called lurkers.

[XelaisPWN]

much like sakura, I was a lurker for a while. But when AMV Hell 5 came out, and folio was all like "GUISE WE SHOULD WATCH IT LIVE TOGETHER" and everyone was like "LOL OKAY AWESOME" and I was like "WAIT FOR ME GUISE! D:"

...and then I had to be the one to set it up because folio and magicmexicano went to bed. xD

[Evileel]

Maybe we need Introduce Yourself type of thread, which 90% of other forums have?

[XelaisPWN]

i dunno, I never posted in any of those when I signed up for a message board. I didn't even notice that there wasn't one here when I first signed up.

Though, it would be nice to welcome the newbies and show them that we're good people so they don't sign up and post NOTHING. xP

[Shibbidah]

Good idea.

[simpleton216]

i'm too lazy to log in sometimes, so the guests might too lazy to log in as well.

[XelaisPWN]

Isn't that what that checkbox that keeps you logged in is for? xP

[Shibbidah]

I would assume.

[sakurafan1994]

lol I'm too lazy I never log out :P

[Shibbidah]

lulz

[Chillpalazzo]

I'm usually one of those, I don't log in unless I have something to type. Then I instictively log off right after...

[jinzo64]

i never logged out.
but i've posted on one those introduce yourself threads.
