Willow Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I had noticed - feels like we're all being watched Agreed Lewis. I know there's a odd guest and lurker and sometimes regulars will read a topic and not comment if they don't have anything they want to add but it always felt like I pretty much knew who was around. Now it feels a bit like having a conversation surrounded by lots of faceless strangers listening in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 It is like a whole bunch of strangers staring in through our lounge window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 It is like a whole bunch of strangers staring in through our lounge window. And the nets are in the wash Mind you, if anyone looked through our sitting room window they'd see nothing but Lego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 My theory is that due to the rising age of the omleteers, we are getting a bit batty and forgetful so have to revisit the posts as we have forgotten which we have read or even posted on. Same can apply after Wine o'clock on an evening or on day off, weekend etc... Or and quite the most likely We see something tell OH, DD ,DS and good pals and they have to visit the site as they don't believe half of what we say , and have to read Things for themselves. or it's the Bots.

Chortle Chook Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I like the idea of being batty and forgetful but the viewing figures is a sanitary reminder that posts on Omlet are actually more visible and less private than posts on Facebook (depending, of course, on your Facebook privacy settings). Omlet is not really the private, cosy little world we believe it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omlet is not really the private, cosy little world we believe it to be. I'm, sure that you meant 'salutary' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickendoodle Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 That explains why there are nearly 400 views on a post I made about cable knitting. Now I know cable knitting is exciting but ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Sorry being blond - whats a bot? I thought it might be another word for butt but I think not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Bots search all the pages on the internet, gather information and use it for search engines - so if someone searches Omlet Cable Knitting, the thread will come up because the bots have seen it... If that makes sense? Don't know if Omlet Mothership can change any settings to slow the bots down or alter the Topic Views to not show 'bot views'?

Alis girls Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Thanks Lewis - makes sense - does seem weird that so many threads are much more widely read than before ..... or does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
