| Senior - BHPian | I am not sure whether there is a thread on this or for that matter, anyone has closely watched this. Everytime I log in, I see that there are more visitors active on Team-BHP than members. Ever wondered why? Read on... This is the status on 21st November 2007, Approx 00:30. Quote:
I understand that this is true with many sites and forums on the Internet, but I want to know your opinions about this. Mods: I know this can be included in the suggestions for Team-BHP, but a discussion and poll would give better inputs. FYI, more than one reason can be voted.

| a lot of times when i work from different computers, i am not logged on to TBHP. in any case, i think it's good to have people look around and decide if they want to join.

Based on personal experiences, if members could contribute the possible reasons, it would help understand the intricacies. P.S: I am not doing this as a survey for commercial benefits. It is just for BHP. ![]() | |

| aZa is right. half the times the traffic is because of those bots and crawlers from various search engines and indexing sites. another fact is that we are very well indexed by google. so anyone looking for car related info lands up on this board. they start reading through the content as we do not restrict info for guests unlike some other sites. many of these guests then also become members after lurking around for a while. |

| BHPian | Privacy issues, may be people don't want to give their email ids & start receiving spam or merely unsolicited mail. Personally I haven't received any unsolicited mail from TBHP since I signed up less than a month ago, but generally speaking its an issue with lot of other public forums. Easy way out of this is to create a email just for this purpose......

| Team-BHP Support ![]() | Interesting query; here is what I understand from my experience: 1. Unlike some other communities, Team-BHP keeps *all* of its information open to guests and members alike. This is in keeping with the foundation on which Team-BHP was created i.e. to provide an unbiased and comprehensive resource to anyone who wants / needs / seeks / enjoys it. 2. Again....unlike some other communities, Team-BHP does not require registration to search within our archives. Trust me when I say this; searching the forum is one of the most hardware intensive processes and we could lower our costs significantly by disabling search to guests. But then, that would be against our basic principles wouldnt it? The search (basic and advanced) will always be open to guests. 3. As long as guests are happy in receiving the information that they seek.....we are happy. If they cant find it (or it isnt discussed already), they are welcome to register and create a thread for the same. 4. Search bots : Google and Yahoo scan our board like crazy. During peak hours, there are probably 200 - 300 spiders recording the forum sections as "guests". Good for us. We, the Support Team, are extremely happy with the way that things are.

I also think that the information availability is the key here. Most people use Team-bhp for information - like a wiki, and they do not need to register/post.
