at the bottom of the main home site it shows the online people, how many people were online in the past 15 minutes
then underneath it goes into detail like

182 non-heroes, 17 heroes, 1 anonymous heroes

what does it mean by 182 non-heroes?

i know that 17 heroes is actual members (registered people) 15+ posts

what is the anonymous hero?

this is just a query i have been thinking about. It would be much appreciated if it cud be answered

Non-heroes are guests. Basically either members that are too lazy to log in (like myself sometimes), or non-registered visitors.

And Anonymous Heroes are those who log on invisibly. When you go to the log in page, under options there are two choices; "Remember Me?" and "Log in as invisible".

oh right, cheers for this Aerdna

The Non-Heroes are also made up of spambots..bots and human guests..

Yep, that's true too.

oh right, no wonder why it shows so many people online but it doesn't seem as if there is that many online
if u kno wat i mean

thx for clearing this up for me

So, if i log in invisible, would i be under non-heroes, anoynomous heroes or in nothing at all?

anonymous hero, as ull be invisible with no name

^ What he said.

during heroes nights though it looks nice with the 500+ people online

True that, true that

What are the bots? Who and what are they owned by and how do they work?

the bots are say google and yahoo, FOR EVERY WEBSITE, they send out spiders (bots) that browse website content in order to list them on the search engines...pretty much it, otherwise how would they know the website exists

Ok...Thanks Travis!
