Here is a fun statistic: At any given time the users online in this forum hover around 40 with 10 members and 30 guests. The members are randomly different each time you look and assumedly the guests would be as well. If I had to guess I would say there are likely 600+ unique logins a day. Some visit regularly, mostly the members for sure, but likely many of the guests. There are at minimum 200-300 people like me that use the forum regularly without registering and 100's more that visit infrequently. These anonymous users are buying from vendors, making mistakes, and having successes while remaining in the shadows.
EWB might have a better view into this.
It is not so much that I was watching like a sitcom, but more after logging in so often i felt like i knew people that i had never said a word to.
