AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the unsettling feeling some users experience when observing a high number of guests on a message board without any interaction. Participants express discomfort at the idea of being the only active member while numerous guests remain silent. The conversation shifts to the nature of these guests, with suggestions that they may be reading or researching past threads rather than participating. Some users note that guests might not engage because posting requires registration, leading to speculation about their motivations for visiting the site. The topic also touches on personal experiences with spiders, contributing to the overall theme of creepiness associated with both the silent guests and the arachnids.

Does anyone find it creepy that so many people come on to this site and don't say anything?! It scares the **** out of me. :rolleyes:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
In particular the slurpy arachnoids.
 
Have you ever been the only person visiting a message board at a particular moment? No guests, no anonymous/hidden members. That was creepy for the first couple of times.

Spiders are creepy...
There are a lot of those here but i prefer that species to the kind that crawled up my neck in the middle of the night...I kept telling myself that it is just my hair moving...it couldn't possibly be a spider...
It was a huge rubbery brown spider! I have not been able to sleep right since.
 
Eww yuk that is disgusting! I don't think I am going to be able to sleep now
 
You see at the moment it is creepy 10 members and 49 guests no one talking. What do the guests do?

They could be reading. I don't think you can make a post until you register. That may be why all the guests are so quiet.
 
How can they read and not want to join in? What a waste of time

I think a lot are researching things in old threads. Every once in a while I get a PM from someone whose joined just to ask for more info about something I mentioned in a thread way back.
