Who is online?

Is there any way I could know the number of online users at that particular time I'm using the forum?

You can check the footer of the forum's homepage, there you can see the online users with numbers too, although i'm not sure how accurate it is, but its a forum feature so it should be accurate i guess.

I found the information under the main altcoinstalks website, I will provide screenshot evidence here:



Users Online :
-4035 Guest
-24 Users

If I notice, the 24 Users means members who are online by logging in.
If 4035 Guest I don't know, maybe it's an altcoinstalks website page that is accessed worldwide without logging in.

Why are we always having more guests than registered users in the daily visiting stats. Too many read mode users than contributors. I've noticed it too many times since last year.

Thanks mate.
I think the info should be accurate because it's dynamic. The number of online users is cool and believable. But the guest number according is very high, Igebotz also noted this.
What exactly does guest users check up for and get without login into the forum?

It's possible that bots are also counted as guests. This topic is related to discussions here https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=327496.0

Who knows? Maybe we have some agents here monitoring the increase of promoted service that was 'banned' in other forums? Only they can answer that. We can't even assure that the guest counter only accounts for real users. It's possible that scrapers are counter as well.

I think the mumber might be slightly higher, as ad blocks block online time


I noticed this because my total time is much smaller compared to other members, and when I disabled adblock my online time started to grow

Yes of course it is open to all.  Scroll down to the footer area from the home page of the forum to see how many people are active there.  And at the same time you can see who was last active.  And how many were active today in total.  Already some people have posted here about this and screenshots have also been posted.  Hope you understand this clearly and can already see how many people were active today.

It might be possible, but getting user agents of every traffic can be distinguished if the traffic came from a bot (robot) or not. So, counting only from non-bot users is easy to get, thus, it might be those numbers are from real traffic. The only question is if these users really take time to visit the forum or if the bounce rate is higher and only has less than 20 seconds or visiting time.

As a note, just saying that there is another way to see users online without having to go to the footer of the forum home page.

In this link: https://altcoinstalks.com/SSI.php?ssi_function=whosOnline we can see exactly the same information as in the footer.

The only variation is the way we see it.

Welcome to think of it Altcoins talks is quite a big community most especially if you compare it to many other smaller communities. Aside from that this forum just like most other SMF forums carry a lot of keywords and that simply means when random guests use search engines to look for certain information there is a very high chance this forum would pop up as the first result.

Aside from that is possible members here to may surf the forum without logging in sometimes and that could count as a guest too.

We can only assume this, if we know and compare the number of guest visitors when mixers didn't locate here to now that we have mixers here.

Very likely what happens. I observed it in Bitcointalk. These visitors come from the search engine.

This is likely not what happens. I don't see myself visiting here as a guest user since I know I will have to contribute

While it is rare, some people probably have to use different devices for various reasons like traveling. I use my phone to access the forum because of that, and I don't want to risk using my main account because I can't guarantee I used a secure network. Checking some marketplaces or boards that I regularly visit can be a good way to waste time. I do agree that the number is probably small, but it's there.

In the home page of the forum check the bottom. You will see the current and other members who were online in that day. Since the first week of my forum that I noticed that information.

This is clearly visible in the bottom of the main page.
It is interesting to see that one point AltcoinsTalks forum had 47049 online, that is more than ten times more than we have today.
I don't know if those numbers are precise and correct, or maybe there was some bot attack in the past.
