Well said Tony!.....

I was just thinking to myself how spending the afternoon drinking rum and then going into the shop to spray lacquer was not the best plan for this afternoon, but then the rum and lacquer combination left me with a feeling of "wow that looks awesome" hope it still looks that good when I come too.

So, its always had me wondering about the number of people on this site at any given time. At this moment there are 431 people on the site, 155 members and 276 guests!! Really? who are the 276 guests? are they members that aren't signed in? people who are truely guests and checking out the site. The guests always seem to out number the members quite handily!! are they "real" people?

It's not that I think the guests are not welcome, actually the opposite, join it's free! Just always thought it was strange that when I looked the numbers are always so lopsided.

Wondered that too many times as well as this:

Members: 8,686, Active Members: 1,205

What's the difference between a member & active member?

I think guests are mostly members that haven't signed in. The number of members is the total number of accounts ever created. This includes people that are no longer in the hobby, people that forgot their password and just created a new account, even the spammers get counted.

Active members are probably enumerated based on last activity date. Not sure the actual time frame.

That's kinda like the story of how I met my wife.

j/k: It was actually the other way around. Her rum and hallucinogen. :lol:

Lucky for you eh Lance... :mrgreen:

Yup!

So we can all pick on Lance again! Heh! :biggrin:

Probably a lot of spiders crawling the site too.
