Just on a whim, I decided to look at the profiles of some of our members, and I came across this one (name withheld) :

Now this gentleman joined in 2006, has not posted a single message, yet was active here less than twelve hours ago. It is intriguing to speculate why he continues to visit ...

Errr, looking up recipes? I imagine that what most people use the site for.

Do you not think it unusual for someone to visit for such an extended period (almost ten years), yet never ask a question, post a comment, or otherwise contribute ?

You don't have to login to appear active. I used to follow one member (who was also previously another member) who used to look in everyday but never logged in till someone set him off in a Pioneer of the Year Awards thread.
Yes i know tragic before anyone mentions it :)

But if you don't log in, how does the forum know it's you ? No cookie is going to last ten years !
72 hours isn't it?
The forum software records your ip address so it knows you've had a look regardless if you've logged in.

I thought it was only IT freaks such as myself that voluntarily pay extra for a fixed IP address ...
Obviously a 'sleeper' awaiting orders.
I'll have 2 samosas, an achari chicken, a rogan josh, a medium rice and 2 garlic naan please.
