Guests

[ɮօʀȶǟʐ]

I have decided to remove the requirement for guests to create an account and log in to view the forum. I'd originially set the requirement when Eddie was reporting all of our posts to ProBoards.

Please help me keep an eye on things. If you see anything odd or objectionable, send me a private message. I'll try it this way for a while and see if it leads to any problems. Maybe having it open will lead to more members and more discussion (until Corch runs them of...JUST KIDDING!).

Good Idea that way a lurker can see we are all nuts and decide to stay. JK How most in here Know the Real History of the Astros/45's you know the 1492 people

Does anyone,maybe like Justin know how to manipualte the search engine algorithms?

If you do an "Astros Forum" search on Duck Duck, our forum is the 14th listed.
Trying Google, and we are the 29th listed.

I think that is hurting our visibility.

I had us in the top 5 at one point, but it requires near-constant manipulation of metadata etc. to maintain it.

Thanks, just another example of you on your toes behind the scenes.

Exactly.  Not a Church Lady, nor a slacker, allowing a free-for all.  The perfect middle grounder, who lets the posters vent as long as they don't cross the line.

I wonder if these are true guests, or slacking members who just didn't log in.

Bortaz you should make a benchmark for GOAT poster....100k posts, what do you think?

Just another reason to call some of us Old GOATs

Armed Frog I think your list is bogus.  As I never sign out.  I only sign back in when it does a hickup and ask me to sign in.

^^^^Then again since I am not part of the posse you left me off.

I'm sure it doesn't count you if you're not actually on the website

Wonder if ericdoesntcare is viewing as a guest?

Wouldn't surprise me...he was pathetic enough to do that (and is the reason I blocked guests for a long time)
