WSO Vendors and Other Advertisers... do you feel BLIND in here nowadays?

10 replies
.
It seems there's no way now to know the actual number of
people browsing this forum since the count stats were removed
from individual sections. I thought the general count stats at
the bottom of the homepage were good to go by, but they
have been the same the last 12 or so hours:

What's Going On?
Currently Active Users: 6688 (2101 members and 4587 guests)


Apart from just guessing, is there any other way to know the
number of people online in here nowadays? When spending good
money on adverts, it's good to have an idea.

Any helpful words on this?

:confused:

    I also see this everyday "Currently Active Users: 6688 (2101 members and 4587 guests)". I hope some Mods can show the way.

    I think I remember reading that the users per section was removed because it took up resources that could be better used elsewhere. I can't seem to locate the thread. I'd assume it stopped the active user count as well. There are over 400k users here now, posting a lot of stuff. Some things just have to be sacrificed in an attempt to keep things running smoothly.

      Can anyone point me to the thread or post where this
      was said? I will like to hear this from the "horses" mouth.

      Thanks,

        It's true. I read it too. Try a search.

          Well, if you don't mind hearing from the other end of the beast, I can answer: That's why it was pulled. Too many resources being used for too little benefit to the members.

          The other stats should be updating, but they may have set it to do so at longer intervals. Those numbers should never have been treated as "up to the second" anyway.

            I see. I hope it comes back in future... as I have always used
            the stats to help me "see" what's happening before advertising.

            If it wasn't there in the beginning it wouldn't matter. I guess
            some of us are already "spoilt" with the data, that's why we
            still hope for it,

            Thanks though, Paul, for taking the time to chime in on this.

    As a former forum owner, I can attest that the counter takes up a lot of resources.

    And yes I do feel blind. I was starting to create a spreadsheet of user activity to find the best times to release products, but that ended quite quick. No more data to gather.!

    I like that it is gone.

    My WSO remained on page one for a significantly longer period. It was on the first page for over a day. That hasn't happened in a long time.

    So it kind of evened out posting. I think it is a good thing.

    I feel this will help others not to depend on things such as the amount of people in certain section as a determining factor whether or not they should release WSO or a service. It tripped me out at first but I can see the good in it now because I see less wso talk because maybe people feel well if I can't see if there is 5,000 people in there then maybe I shouldn't release one. Just my take on it.

    Thanks Admin for doing that.

    Cheers!
