Just a few minutes ago, on a whim, I decided to look up a topic my sister made a long time ago (it was about some drunk/high/insane woman driving directly into a ditch by our house), and after I had read the entire topic (it was only three pages long,) I looked at the member list to see what the guests were up to, as I do when nobody but me is online... and one of them was looking at the exact same topic I was just looking at. This wouldn't be particularly odd in itself (I browse a few forums as a guest myself and click on topics other people are looking at), but this happens very frequently, and with topics that nobody has even touched for years. I look at the ancient Chatboard topics a lot just for a laugh, and it still happens.
So I'm asking you guys: What do you think is going on?
If you're reading this, mysterious guest, hello to you!
they're probably just looking at the Who's Online thing and then going to whatever topics they see people are looking at
Hey handsome <3
Lunatic...
Hope you have a good AK.
After reading what Commodore said, something occurred to me: this happens most of the time when I'm the only one online, so it could just be some bored kid or kids checking out the topic I'm looking at... I don't know.
I kind of like the idea of having a loyal follower better, though.

don't go out. c:
Thanks, but, well, you're just barely too late for that advice... I went into town with my parents and sister (I got home just a few minutes ago). No suspicious people following me, though.
Guests can NOT view that part where it tells you the members/guests actions during the past 15 minutes. Log off and try it. It won't work.
Well, then, this guest must be either a mad hacker or some sort of glitch where whenever I'm logged in, there's a ghost of me.
However, I think the glitch part can be ruled out because about half of the time, I'm literally the only one online, with no guests. It's a lonely feeling...
EDIT: Scratch that, Fisk just fessed up. I'm not sure what to think of you following me, though...

wat r u talkin about i never said nothin

( in all seriousness, no, I'm not stalking you. ): I would if I had time, though! )
Hmm, I'm not sure if I should be flattered or slightly weirded out by that... I'm leaning toward flattered, though.
I hacked into Fisk's account and told you that.
I had a stalker once.

If you guys are telling the truth, why would you do that?
Seems kind of odd. You must have had some sort of motive.

i'm on the prowl, i'm after you
can you feel my heat? i'm just a moment behind....
*Swivels around in chair and looks around*
I don't see you anywhere...
look harder
*Checks behind the door and under the bed*
Still nothing...
guess i'm in the wrong house.
dammit.
You could just be in the wrong room. Mine's the one on the right at the end of the hall. Blue carpet, Beatles albums on the wall, Sega Saturn and games prominently displayed, you can't miss it.
oh right, the beatles albums.
i think i'm under abbey road.
Oh, there you are.
Since you're here, you want a glass of Kool-Aid or something?
you got juice?
We do, actually. There's apple, and some fruit blends in packs. They're all good.
We've got milk, coffee, water, and soda, as well.
you got strawberry or banana flavouring for that milk? if so, i'll take that. if not, i'll take the apple juice.
Actually, we do have strawberry flavoring.
Do you prefer it warm or cold?
cold.
if you heat it up it looses nutrition. :c
No problem.
Also, feel free to make yourself comfortable anywhere you like.

hey guise I'm here to ruin the thread by taking everything yall said ttly srsly
Google and Yahoo 'spiders' have different permssions from normal guests. They don't show as being logged in, but they can (and, in fact, do) view topics that other members are viewing and store them in their collective databases.
Wait, why "spiders"? Why not..."ninjas"?
Because they crawl throughout the web searching for cool content.
Ah, gotcha. That actually makes sense.
Intriguing... I've never heard of these spiders.
What do they do with the information they collect, though? And how do they determine "cool" content?
