    Hey I hit a personal milestone here on SSC with this post.

    this is my 8000th post, and I've got over 20,000 visits.

    I try to include a code example in most of my posts, and the 20K visits pretty much means (for me) that there was a lot of threads I read, and then copy/pasted/tested the examples I saw during those visits.

    SSC has helped make me better in TSQL, that's for sure.

    Nice Lowell, gratz.

    And yes, you almost always contribute on every post you make, I don't think anyone believes you'd 'pump' the count. 🙂 The Thread doesn't count. 😉

    What's a visit?

    What's a visit?

    thats a good question.

    My visit count is more than double my posts, either some people remain logged on for ever or visits are counted oddly. I think it may be how often you go into 'active threads'. If you get to threads via forums, perhaps it causes less ticks on your visit count.

    I once thought that if I cannot get the highest post count I'll go for highest visits, till I saw someone has over 100,000 visits with no points!

    but I digress, congrats Lowell

    I believe it's every time your login is used to access the site, but the best person to ask would be Steve.

    i always assumed a visit was the typical web session; 20 minutes of inactivity closes your session (or switching browsers, or closing and reopening?)

    I was asking about what constitutes a visit because I've been a member since 2005 and , although I've only recently started to actually respond to posts, I visit the site very frequently, usually from the daily email. I only show 900+ visits. I stay logged in at work and at home.

    Hey I hit a personal milestone here on SSC with this post.

    this is my 8000th post, and I've got over 20,000 visits.

    Congrats, and I'd say an extremely high percentage of those posts contain quality code and advice. Thanks for the contributions.
