You know, I should bite my tongue but fuck it, why do other forums lie about their user stats? I mean, is it OK to have a hack running that makes it look like there are more people online than there really is? I would never do this, I think it is extremely dishonest and just plain lies. In addition I feel it is wrong to ask for donations when a forum is receiving affiliate monies. It really blows my mind that some people are OK with this and let it happen without speaking up. I am looking at one particular forum right now that supposedly has 1200 active users but the forum only did 2 posts for the day in their main forums, with a total of 36 posts for the day! That math does not add up. In a 24 hour period we will see about 150 posts and our traffic is in the 500 users per hour area (growing at about 38% per month). I guess honesty and honor are a thing of the past with some forums!
