If you come in the forum and post or open a thread to read you will notice 3 viewers show up. I call them robo's as This and the other 3 isp's have been programmed to show 2-3 viewers when there is activity on the forum. The reason being is to make you think there is more activity than there really is. Promote business, etc.

In short you really are alone. If you view two topics in a short time it will increase to 6:) If there is an uneven number such as 7 or 5 etc, chances are there actually bodies viewing.

I have logged on for 3 different days, it doesn't show the "3" people you are talking about. one day it showed 1 person viewing the pet forum and 1 person viewing the support forum. I don't see 3 viewers on any of them and haven't on any other day.

Tracy Moore, you are a Copper/turbo employee, etc. Put a trace on the sites and you will see the robot visitors. They have changed their colors of late and are doing exactly as you said. Parking on the support forum and the pets. They are also still coming in twos when a valid viewer comes in. Truthfully, I do believe there are only 3 legitimate viewers. Nothing wrong with that so the deception is only working for us 3:)? Sort of. I am sure it makes no never mind to some. Some being you all and 1 2 or 3 of us. Carry on.

"Another tip is sometimes you will see and enormous amount of viewers on all topics, this is done on all their isps usually late at night and sometimes in the day. I believe this to be some kind of test since it can be found on all of their isps more so at Copper.:)"

No longer considered a test but another way to up the viewer count except this done on a regular basis ups the count as much as 5 on each thread. Once again since they are exposed I am sure they will be changing their MO. I will let you know what it is next. Truth, Justice and the American way:)

Interesting that you have lost your administrative title here and at monsters but you have it at Copper. Not too hard to figure out why. I don't blame you, you are doing your job. This isp works for me with little or no problems at the computer end but I don't like the tactics of the company and one of it's employees. Just my opinion and I have been ousted before for giving it. It won't be a surprise if it happens again:)

Oh dear, look here gentle that is not what that means. I bumped your post to the front because I covered it with my turkey joke and I wanted yours on the front page. That's what they do on the forum when they want a post up front, YOURS. I am sorry if you felt that way.:(:( As to the viewer count, that wasn't you. You can only make a viewer count one at a time. They do it on most active thread all at the same time so that it looks like a lot of interest. Again, I am sorry you thought that! I wanted your Christmas topic front and center! My intent is never to hurt anyone on the forum. I hope you had a very HAPPY JESUS' BIRTHDAY:o)
