Why is there ALWAYS one "Anonymous" user checking:

...who's online? Is this one of the admins or someone at empeg keeping a window open to see board activity?

My guess is that its Tony's automagic checker to see if any new posts have been made .

Doesn't Tony (or someone else) have a little app that alerts him when there's a new post made to the board? I think that's what's seen as the everpresent Anonymous checker.

I can only hope - for his sanity, considering the last couple of weeks flood of postings - that the alert is very discreet...

A system tray icon changes and a sound plays, that's all. The sound only plays once until I reset it.

That would be Frank's stats collector, viewable here.

By the way, if you see an anonymous user specifically checking who's online, it's not me. My thingy goes to the main index and looks for the word "new)". I don't go near the Who's Online screen.

That's probably someone's "usage stats" gathering tool. Doesn't Drakino run one?

Damn, beat me by 60 seconds.

Did you notice how the average number of users online tripled at the time of the big price cut?
