Do ya want SciForums to get a counter that would measure the number of new visitors to it? Maybe they can set it up so that registered members won't be counted but visitor might. That would be kinda neat ehh?
LOL If they wanted a site counter, they would have a site counter. Yes, irrelevent as killjoy says, it seems kind of odd. How many people come here?
When you first access the site, wouldn't you be a visitor since you have not logged in yet? If so it wouldn't really be accurate to showing just visitors.
