If you believe some on here, they are alone - with 92,846 pslewis's to ruin their viewing

These are the same people who, when there is a scrum in Rugby, believe the players are talking about them!!!!

i'd say there were around 1,000 - 2,000 active users judging by posts like you go into certain sections and it seems to be the same users most of the time

I saw this mentioned a while back based on the number of different IP addresses visted in per day. Can't for the life of me find the actual number though.

Anyhoo, a quick glance shows 197 members and 159 guests are currently online.

So, thats 159 lurkers, 96 spambots, 22 google/yahoo search spiders, and 47 Lewis accounts.

Which gives us 32 actual users currently on line

There's 46 members.

44 of them are now moderators - Trying to work out which of the other 43 are being naughty and have have 2 alternate accounts .

My Guess would be 2-3000 Members who have posted in the last month.

Yes, I have a birth certificate saying the correct name is "urine tract"

Seriously though, can we not have this turn into yet another "spot the Lewis" thread. Pretty please, it's getting very boring!

PS I have only EVER had one user name on SN and this is it!

You can't and never will be able to base it on IP addresses

I can log in from at least 5 or six different IP addresses in any one day, and they can change wildly from day to day

If you (not sure if you have the rights to do it) do a cross check on all the IP addresses I have ever logged onto SN using just this particular Sonic' account (as I have another) you will probably find quite a number of other users registered on here that clearly aren't me

In the almost 10 years I have been on SN I have changed ISP many many times, and worked in several thousand companies some of them large corporates and I know I am not the only one to have logged onto SN

How does that work then, ALi. I never log out, even when I am nowhere near the place

Its a point. Its something difficult to quantify in any form.

Although I do have to ask why someone would want to log on from five different IP in a day....You doing a pub-crawl of Wi-Fi hotspots, Sonic?


If you (not sure if you have the rights to do it) do a cross check on all the IP addresses I have ever logged onto SN using just this particular Sonic' account (as I have another) you will probably find quite a number of other users registered on here that clearly aren't me
Yes I can So, for example, your not related to a user called Botburp


Anyhoo, in seriousness, I think Stu has access to more accurate site stats in terms of hits and users log-ins per day. Of course that needs to be crossed referenced against the IPs to filter out potential aliases.

Sometimes I am convinced that there is me, and one other person who has all the other usernames.

I've been around these boards since 2001 and have used more than one username in that time. I lose passwords or access to old emailaccounts etc and so can never recover them.

Unless anyone knows how to recover an old account where I don't have the password. I know the account name, the original email address(no longer working) and seem to recall the pasword was all numbers and it was set by scooynet at the time not chosen by me. Thats why I can't remember the pass as it was random numbers.

Is it possible?

Start a poll with the only option being 'Count me in, i'm an active user', run it for a week and keep bumping it to the top. If everyone that uses the forum votes it will give a realistic answer of how many active users are on here, not that i've thought about it much

If I did that Flaps..... PSL and NACRO would log on under their aliases and increase the true numbers by about 60,000.....

Well, I'm Sonic', PSLewis, Mycroft and DCI Gene Hunt. I'm about 20% of yoza and no one has ever seen me and 84of300 in the same room together.
