The ratio of guests to users

And some comments of my own...

Na and Jeff are correct that the bulk (89%) of traffic to this website arrives via search engines however, contrary to Na's suggestion, 79% of visits comprising 89% of all traffic is Australian.

Of a total of 667,000 visitors in the last year, 51,000 returned to the site roughly weekly - of these 23,000 visitors made more than 200 return visits in a year!

As Na suggests, the list of who is online is taken from unique visitors in the last ten minutes. In the last year 61,000 visits lasted more than 10 minutes - of these 11,000 visits lasted longer than half an hour.

Within reason, if anyone with a Gmail account would like to confirm these stats for themselves, please let me know and I will be happy to provide access.

In response to our anonymous observer, I do not agree that raising the tone of the site would attract more participants. However, I do believe that improvements to the tone of the site would help attract and retain a larger audience -  for this reason, I would regard this as a priority.

As for observer's concerns about misconstrued comments, you've taken an anonymous swipe at a huge group of people with a sweeping generalisation that is as inaccurate as it will be offensive to many. Most people contributing to and frequenting this website recognised a long time ago that character will be judged not by the remarks of others but by your own actions and words. Sign up and show us what you're made of.
