Here on HUBB that ratio is "typically" 20 to One. IE: 10 members to 200 Visitors. My Internet expert friends explained all this to me ... management here don't want that info shared in public ... Suffice to say, fiddling is going on. .... once again ... not a big deal.

A) There is no fiddling - I wouldn't know how to fiddle it!
B) Why would I care? Wouldn't want to share what? For why?
C) Your internet expert friend is an idiot.
D) We've been going since 2000 with the HUBB and the number of lurkers has ALWAYS been very high compared to the number that sign in. MOST people are here to LEARN, not spout off. MANY don't speak good English, (we get hits from 150+ countries) and use a translator to READ - so certainly don't feel capable of making an entry, so why sign up? The ratio of lurkers to logged in doesn't bother me at all, why should it bother anyone else?
FWIW - we had over a million user sessions last month - not a bad number in anyone's book.
E) quite frankly I'm offended  that you would suggest I'm fiddling. You clearly don't get HU or the way we do things here.
