|

I do not want to incite any hostility - I am only voicing an observation- when visiting the www.retailworker.com site, I always take a moment to check the # of logged on members and the # of guests - then I check the forum index and view the # of topics and responses for each of the different forums - by far, Sears Forum still generates the most interest - but - if you check the forum and view the posts, you will notice there is little if any activity - it makes me believe that the # of logged on members and visiting guest might somehow be inflated - we have less than 16% of their total membership and have never had more than 34 members logged on at one time - the activity here has surpased retailworker.com in only 9 months - the other site has been active for well over 2 years - this is just an observation

Mrs. DD., I've made those same obversations about the #s of logged on members and guests, versus the amount of actual activity since I first went there in the fall of 2002. There were times that the numbers would inflate into the hundreds and suddenly drop off. We would then consider if or not the numbers were real, or if all of hoffman was dropping by for a visit.
You should have been there when anyone off the street could post under the name "anonymous"! We couldn't tell if there were forty people posting, or just one.
To all this I say, oh well. I consider myself lucky to be able to still visit that site and gain from them what I can.
And I am most most most grateful to be here with all of you.

I'm almost positive that it's just a technical issue... probably software configuration. It appears to me that their server doesn't manage sessions properly; which would explain the disproportionate numbers and the sometimes sketchy performance.

I don't find it too bad really. It exhibits some odd behaviour occasionally and, while not blazingly fast, its speed is, for the most part, quite bearable.
Seeing as you're so fond of numbers and stats and such, perhaps you'll get a kick out of these:

okay smarty pants - you have decided to shut me up for a week while I devour these numbers - these #s will just have to wait until I have finished my prep work for the big day  - give me the stats for that site and for this site the day before, the day of, and the day after the share holder meeting - those stats will be very interesting when the time comes  and  - I imagine the different corporate retail heads will have their lookie-loos out in force feeding on the input of all three sites - I can't believe they aren't the least bit interested in what questions or statements the peasants might want to submit - I am sure they will be well prepared to respond with a well planned positive spin - thanks for the research and all those #s
