Pwn

[JFife]

...if you go to PWN (sorry Ron) and look at the separate forums, etc. is says beside each one how many people are "viewing". It is a HUGE number, like 100-200 people at any given time. They don't have many new posts going up, so are these people able to access all of this info just by being browsers?? That seems like so many people? Fishy?

Jon, no need to say sorry. PWI is the only bbs that lets you talk about other bbs and direct people to other bbs.

its a hack program, many bbs have these. its not fishy its a program insatlled in the software to make things looks busy. Like i said there are others if you look close. I wont mention names

Well Thats A Bit Shady

I figured it must be something like that. I'd get online at midnight and there'd be 75 people browsing the pressurewashing threads. I assume this type of a service helps you to get higher search rankings or something?? Cannot think why else it would be beneficial,

It is a common practice in order to generate higher rankings. I think its a load of crap. We will not use any of those methods on PWI. What you see is absolute reality. An average of 65 different members and varying amounts of "guests" or unregistered members every day. no hype nothing bogus.
ALL COUNTS (including Rons 5000+ posts) ARE REAL ON PWI.

same info would be there either way so i think its bs its really of no benifit to any board member unless they are selling advertisement ...... well there is the brainstorm i was looking for ... its about $$$$$$ or at least it could be..huh

 

[Ron Musgraves]

yeah, i let one bother me. instead of banning the guy you allow him to post. no one else can see his threads. That was done to me on another bbs.

Oh well
