Why do we see more visitors than members on Team-BHP?

typical of most forums..
very few want to go through registration process
most land up when they did a "google" on some car related question and quitely fade away after getting the info they wanted...

some keep reading and realise that they need to register when they want to post..

i think its typical for any website or club or ..... where guests would typically outnumber members...

the ratio in which they outnumber depends on quite a lot of factors - im not sure what is the statistic for T-BHP but i tend to believe, we would have a smaller ration -- as in - lesser guests: members ratio

If you do not tick the "remember me" option, you could log in and till you try to post, not realise that you are logged in as a guest. So quite a few members could actually be browsing as guests!
