HC is not a "booze it up" type, just FYI.

What? I didn't say anything provocative or subversive. Just stating a simple fact. I'll even add a smiley...here: :)

Ever hear of a focus group? Small subset that represents the opinion of others?
This board is useful to them to get customer opinions - something that normally can be expensive and time-consuming.

This is one whacked-out focus group though!

Plus there's a ton of lurkers too afraid to jump into this craziness...
So there's probably a big audience..

I really don't think there is a big audience! Just us regulars, maybe a handful of lurkers at most. A lot of the hits this site shows might be b/c people have this set as a home site on their browser so everytime they launch a browser this shows up. Also that they keep it open on the desktop. Who knows...

Just now, the report from the home page:

In total there are 32 users online :: 5 Registered, 12 Hidden and 15 Guests

i'm sure some of those guests are regulars who aren't logged in for some reason. but i bet a lot of them are not.

yeah, there's one out their back door every day...

But I'm sure they'd rather be sitting in an office reading about your new mini-van and sifting through countless threads about people's personal lives while gathering all sorts of valuable information on the cheap.

Yep..I'm sure they'd much rather sift through all the b/s on this board than walk outside and engage a focus group coming off the mountain.

You have a point there.

I bet they lurk over on your blog too!!

Of the 15 guests, 10 could be various search engines, or one search engine coming in under various IPs.

and the most was 58 back in Oct 2005, what's your point?

That your focus group is more focused?
