Hi Longman
The "N Users and N Guests online" refers to members (users) logged in and people (guests) actively viewing the pages ("lurkers") at any one time.
The posts are ALL indexed by Google so that they are findable and readable. This is a kind of hidden benefit of the community. Many thousands of people have read the posts without ever once posting. I would not say thay are waiting but benefitting from reading the threads created over all these years.
By the way our Helpline and Supporter Care Manager Kellie Hains has just written a blog (scroll down) about the helpline. I thought you would find it interesting.
