Just browsing the forum and noticed this:

Seems a bit mental that, at midnight on a Friday, over 450 people have got nothing better to do than read a forum that they can't be arsed to sign up to.

So any lurkers out there reading this, sign up! You must have something to contribute FFS.

Half of them, or more then a half of them, were Google Bots, I'm sure.
I run a vBulletin myself and I know.

Yes a lot of them are bots, if not most of them. However a lot of them are lurkers who are just happy to read posts and threads, or maybe take ideas.

this forum is 1 of the best

yeah, most of them are bots but keep in mind that's a very good thing because it gets more of our threads out there on the search engines for others to find. Also, some of the lurkers like to read and then over time they may decide to join. The higher that figure is, the better for all of us at TS.

^ Well said, definately.

**Jager** · 28-01-2007, 07:45 AM

If your site doesn't have bots spidering it, and Bandini is the expert here, then you could be in real trouble.

TS is the perfect way to make a site in my opinion, especially since Bandini and company have taken over.

Thanks Jager, but we need our balance of perfect strategy, implementation and leadership here and I have NEVER seen a forum with a team of leaders like you and the rest of our admin and mod team. There's a reason people love this forum.

Well I don't wanna say that reason is me, my charm and charisma in the way I express my opinions but...it would be falsification to claim anything else woudln't it?

**bandini** · 28-01-2007, 02:31 PM

yes, I forgot to mention that too

But if those are real people, I am sure they will definitely sign up. This forum is HOT and any football discussers will regret for not signing up. One of the best no doubt...
