What is a guest ?

Postby jim ferguson » Feb 4th, '10, 02:21



I frequently click on the 'whos online' button which tells you which members are where. Under the members it gives a list of guests and there varous whereabouts. Now i always thought that 'guest' meant non member, or a member who hadnt signed in. However, quite a few times it has said that a guest is posting a message, or is in the secrets area. How can this be ? What actually is a guest ? :?

Guest used to be someone who hadn't yet registered, or someone who had had their registration deleted for some reason, but these days, although unregistered viewers can read many of the Areas, the only way to write a message is to be registered. Most of the Guests you see are Googlebots or similar gathering info for Search Engines. I hope!

    I think I'll change my profile name to Guest, just to confuse you... :wink:

    Thanks mate, all is groovy... In Canada at the moment trying to find some work so I can stay here with my lovely girlfriend. In other news I was filmed the other week doing a 5 minute clown/magic sketch for a holographic film in the London Film Museum. Should be interesting.

    How's you?
