    I'm looking at the little yellow bar at the top telling me over 6 million members and 24k online. The latter is impressive and I personally think the hamsters should get combat pay (but I'm not going to pony up the extra sunflower seeds out of my budget!). I was curious about why people come here. I just frequent the lounge, as there are so many, er, compelling characters here (also known as the "there but for the grace of God" contingent :)). However, 24k online is a lot of people, and there certainly aren't that many in the lounge, unless 23k are lurkers. So, what's the scoop? Is there a page somewhere that shows the typical distribution of these masses, e.g. 1k in the Lounge, 2k in the C++ forum, 20k in the c#/web forums, etc.? Inquiring minds wanna know. And so do I.

        1k in the lounge and 2k in the C++ forum? You haz needz coffee. :-D BTW, I think that this 24k includes people who have not logged off, but may have closed the browser and gone (the "remember me" option). :)

                      You raise a very interesting point, and I think Chris should create a more granular breakdown of that number. Something like: There are 163 of you goofing off in the lounge There are 2328 asking questions in the C# forum (of which 82% have been asked before) There are 1367 arguing with trolls in the Soapbox There are 12,346 that haven't touched their keyboards and are sleeping (let's change their wallpaper) There are 11,355 CIA/FBI/HLS agents tracking 1 (Chris Duncan) because of his word choices of: Yellow Bars, 6 million, 24k, combat and budget.

                        Ok - billions and billions of what we now call years ago there was this big um, thingy. Now this thingy got a notion to see what was out there, 'cept there was no 'out there' 'cause it had scooped it all in it's unrelenting quest to become the biggest of all thingies. So, it decided to spread the joy around, and there was this big ker-poof see, and several billion years later hamsters conquered the dinosaurs that had evolved on an insignificant ball of crusted lava that just happend to have a convenient light source, and began to power websites. That's when a small alien called Bob (not his real name) became interested in controlling the minds of the more advanced (*cough*) inhabitants of the aforementioned crispy coated inferno, seeing that they had evolved to the point of developing Tim Tams - and the rest, as they say, is history. Those few who have managed (thus far) to remain autonomous sometimes drop in just for the pun of it.

                            I'm pretty sure the "online status" expires about x-minutes of inactivity as with most sites. But those 23k could be 100k+ that do drive-by's from google and other places.

                                You're not taking into account the value refactoring, which is based on the amount of Americans each participant is worth -- i.e. an American counts as one, and the rest of us count as n Americans each. That's why the numbers seem so impossibly high. There are, of course, exceptions -- e.g. TheArchitectmc∞ is worth between 63 and 71 percent, depending on whether he posts or not (respectively).

                                I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                                  No clue about the numbers, but I am one of the many lurkers. I enjoy the banter and some of the articles, but rarely have anything to contribute.

                                    Freaky, I was just using a washing machine as an example of something that contains a µC, which could in theory be interfaced to a computer for control/syncronization purposes!

                                      You raise a very interesting point, and I think Chris should create a more granular breakdown of that number. Something like: There are 163 of you goofing off in the lounge There are 2328 asking questions in the C# forum (of which 82% have been asked before) There are 1367 arguing with trolls in the Soapbox There are 12,346 that haven't touched their keyboards and are sleeping (let's change their wallpaper) There are 11,355 CIA/FBI/HLS agents tracking 1 (Chris Duncan) because of his word choices of: Yellow Bars, 6 million, 24k, combat and budget.

                                          I'm looking at the little yellow bar at the top telling me over 6 million members and 24k online. The latter is impressive and I personally think the hamsters should get combat pay (but I'm not going to pony up the extra sunflower seeds out of my budget!). I was curious about why people come here. I just frequent the lounge, as there are so many, er, compelling characters here (also known as the "there but for the grace of God" contingent :)). However, 24k online is a lot of people, and there certainly aren't that many in the lounge, unless 23k are lurkers. So, what's the scoop? Is there a page somewhere that shows the typical distribution of these masses, e.g. 1k in the Lounge, 2k in the C++ forum, 20k in the c#/web forums, etc.? Inquiring minds wanna know. And so do I.

                                          Reminds me of my personalized weekly posting stats from some years back. Graphs and tables (Excel based) with some help from Chris (who gave me access to some secret URLs that gave me detailed stats data to play with). And I manually collected a lot of other details from member bio pages. I don't remember how I found all that time.

                                          Regards, Nish
