Who is online?

[Mia Chloe]

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.

Well you do have a point since you are basically speaking based on what you experience most of the time. However is still possible though the numbers don't actually matter that much when you put them in total. I do surf the forum sometimes without logging in basically when I am not on my main device or sometimes when they're occasionally log out.

Especially on bitcoin talk I like to go back to old posts basically around 2010 or 2011 just to read a couple of old stuff and sometimes I noticed some events back there were quite interesting.

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

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.

I had thought that the 47049 online was a cumulative number, but if it actually happened in a day, I guess it should be somewhere last year when mixers were banned in Bitcointalk, then some of the mixer campaigns relocated here. If not that, it might likely be a bot attack.

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.

I am just noticing this for the first time after seeing the replies on this thread. It is a great tool indeed and will give a better analysis and insight to how many users come online here to read about informations they can derive of cryptocurrency through here. I commend the admin for this as this is a great tool to keep in check for us users and also companies to know how people often visit the forum for their services to also sell.

It is very easy to see how many users are active here and it is in the footer area of ​​the home page. And already you've got a lot of replays where everyone is giving almost similar answers. Actually this topic is open and on homepage so it is not very difficult to check. You can now lock this topic as you have answered your question very well.

op please lock this topic now. this will be better

This forum had that much online members in one day or overall till now? That's a bit confusing if overall till now then it's okay as the number is not big but if in one day then it must be a bot attack I guess.

BTW I just saw we have 90% of the people as guest and only 60 people as users here in the last 120 minutes I never thought there would be anyone using this forum as guest I mean why would they want to use a forum as guest if they can't interact and engange properly.

You exclude the possibility that someone is just looking for information, where the search engine directed him to this forum. Well, that person does not want to participate in the forum, but only to be informed. They find the necessary information without any interaction on the forum. Why not?

Add to that, that there are a large number of different bots that visit the site and collect different metrics. They are also considered guest visitors.

Like telegram notification bot, or other bots made by bitmover well if such bots are getting data from the forum they must be counted as one guest I assume not multiple times but if they are being counted as multiple times then that's understandable, but saying some people just google something and this forum pops up or uses this forum to get information about something that's not digestible.

Because this forum is not something very big yet now CMIIW.

My bot never appeared as online here.

Its username is "bitmoverbot". This is his profile

So your bot collects all the information while being offline, sorry if that's dumb to say not a very technical person.

So this exclude the option that bot visiting the site counted as multiple times. So these guests must be the real guests visiting sites without logging in. That's really a big number.

The online time is probably bugged.

My bot logs in everytime someone visits the page
Once logged in, he makes forum searches and collect data.

However,  his online time is just 5 minutes.

The online time is probably bugged.

Or maybe it is simply not showing or registering bots as visible.
I am sure your bot is not the only one used in Altcoinstalks forum, so admin probably decided to hide them in settings.
Do you know if bots are shown in bitcointalk forum since both are based on SMF?

I have a bot in bitcointalk which does basically the same thing, and it has 5 hours total online time:



And bitmoverbot only has 5 minutes online time.


So yeah, this is most likely a bug, as looks like admin decided to make online time something important to rank up. He probably changed some configurations to make it count time differently than other SMF forums

That can be a reason, and if the online time is really bugged it can be possible that the online guests information might also be bugged as the admin has said one time this forum is like a old car barely able to roll haha so when one thing is repaired, something else broke haha.

Or maybe the actual online time is just 5 minutes as the bot did not need that much time to show the results and once the results are shown it don't have to remain online anymore.

Haha, I am surprised to see that that you are noticed this feature after the op stated this thread, that online stats feature has been there for ages since this forum went online (maybe).

You getting to know about that stats now shows you've never scrolled to the very bottom of the forum ever since you got here lol 😁.

Anyways, one feature related to this one I hope to see in the future is, aside the total online users shown in the footer of the homepage, I want to visit a board and see how many users are active at that particular moment on that board, and maybe on threads too.

Not an important feature, but fun to be able to tell which board and which thread has the most active users at any given time..

Goggle search engine redirected most the guests users to this forum, got the information they want and disappeared, this is a very complicated and difficult forum for a first timers to use. I'm guilty of this as well, I've been reading r/Bitcoin subreddit for more than 5 years now without a registered reddit account.

I don't like how Reddit operates so I'm just a 5 years old guest on only read mode, zero contribution and I'm okay with that.
