Is there EVER a time when there's no one on imamother??

Just wondering! Smile

There should be if there are only frum women here - for a few hours every Shabbos when it's Shabbos everywhere (not many), over Rosh Hashana or any Shabbos-YT 2-day combination which is 2 days in Israel also.

Someone once posted a screenshot when she was the only (registered?) user.

Even if there's no members online, there could still be guests or various forum robots picking up stuff for google searches.

I don't know if there's a way to be able to tell who is a who and who is a what.

Right now there are 29 users and 155 guests. I couldn't imagine why more than five times as many people would care to be watching what we are saying then to be part of this site. Being they are not people, this makes sense to me.

There are a few times imamother gets shut down because I think of the server doing some repair or something like that.

I'm sure plenty of the guests are actually members. I frequently take a peek at the site without logging in, and am counted as a "guest." If I'm not posting or looking at sensitive topics, there's no need to log in.

When I was living in Hawaii last summer (I figured one of the last places in the world to begin Shabbos), I checked Imamother right before Shabbos began and saw there I was often one of two or three other named people on but there were often several guests on as well.

Most of the guests are users who haven't logged in, or who were logged in and left the computer and got logged out. Not "guests" in the conventional sense.

If you look at how many people have clicked on any given thread vs. How many people have commented it also normally atleast five times more.

A lot of the "guests" are search sites like Google that are crawling imamother at that time.

(Aside: I live in one of the last time zones to go into Shabbat, and it is very weird when there's no one left on imamother but me.)
