About 1000 of those new members were mongrel Spammer types who didn't get past first base. Its been a flat out month just sorting the good from the bad.

Phew how did I get in

Gotta say, I feel like an intruder here... no 4wd... no offroad camper... just a Fairlane and an Onroad campertrailer. But let me tell you, I LOVE this forum... have learned heaps and feel "at home" here. And who knows... I may come over to the 'Dark Side' one day!

Well, 1250 plus members for the month of June.

1250 new members for June looks like one of those figures like the 245 "Most on line" figures which popped up in March 2010, and that we never got close to since.

Not really, last 3 months has seen 200 odd on line. I would assume that the forum is growing at a fair rate with members and use.....

Gunna Do · « **Reply #33 on:** June 28, 2011, 07:14:46 AM »

Not that it matters much, but 200 on line 12 months down the track is still a long way short of 245 and with over 3700 more new members since (by the stats). I believe it's a glitch, you believe its real, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

Maybe I'm too much of a sceptic, and should accept these things for what they are.

An Intruder Newsman? Look at my Sig Pic

One of the things I like about this site...a love of camping qualifies you, everything else is secondary

I agree that the 245 was a glitch, we weren't anywhere near that any other time, back then. There has been a high number online recently however.

I think you will find numerous forums had a spike around that date
I think that some of the search engines may have released their spiders with new algorithms around that time to poll the internet for more up to date data. Quite regularly at night on my other forums you see the spiders are the only things online

Glitch, is generally a term used when someone cannot explain what happen.

. I deal with this a lot in my field of work. I don't think it's too hard to believe. Take into account time of year, big wet inland so very active trips planned for the centre. Now, being a cynic is a different story.......

Note: An element of jest.....hehehe

What's the glitch? System driven, what would cause this so believed erroneous numbers?

Gunna Do · « **Reply #38 on:** June 28, 2011, 02:17:07 PM »

World English Dictionary
glitch (?l?t?)
— n
1. a sudden instance of malfunctioning or irregularity in an electronic system

I'd say this definition sums it up pretty well, with the numbers mentioned being both sudden, irregular and in an electronic system. My field of work doesn't cover this type of thing, nor do I claim to be educated enough to make a guess as to the cause, but I reckon the forum being electronically driven fits into the glitch category pretty well.

Being a cynic and a sceptic, I find it hard to believe that the big wet had prompted everyone onto the forum for just one day, if these high numbers had lasted for a few weeks or even a month, this theory might have held some credability.

Obviously by a couple of posts above I'm not the only one to believe the numbers were somewhat dubious, nor am I the only one to believe in glitches.

Now although I'm a cynic and a sceptic, I know you well enough to believe this is totally believable.

Maybe the membership increase has something to do with being a few page spread in CTT?

Or the popularity of the beer holders, stickers and windscreen stickers (these are hard to miss)?
