I was just wondering how at all hours of the day the other Cougar Site always shows view counts of over 50+ people viewing any given forum topic. It must be auto generated. Does anyone know? I just thought it was funny.
I can’t speak for the way they generate their numbers, but since we do not have any advertising, there is no incentive for us to try to inflate any of the numbers to impress potential advertisers. We make it hard for spammers or robots to register. We could add a ton of “new members” if we allowed those registrations. We also do not count visits from robots to the number of views we show for threads.
I have to say that I do find it interesting that MC.Net has continued to enjoy as much support as it has given Vertical Scope’s complete lack of effort in improving it in any way. Never the less, there is a huge and valuable store of information there and I hope it never goes away.
