Thank You Rowan and Alvin for your reply. Rowan i do believe that this could be a simple case of parking the avatar and chatting in IM and Discord. Alwin what you said would in fact make sense if it was reset to zero at the start of every calculation day. However as you may have read in my last posting. When i had three days of events leading to an accumulated 6000+ land traffic then the following day when no one was on my sim (I know this as i am notified when someone lands on it) then the count should have in fact gone back to zero instead it went down to 2740 which would suggest (according to SL own calculation of traffic) that 2740 minutes were accumulated on that day on my sim. This would suggest that it is not reset to zero as it should have read zero for that day. Is there any official information about Land Traffic published by Linden Labs that details the process they use to calculate traffic other than the brief one i mentioned in my previous posting.

Traffic is a source of frustration for me and i am sure for many others in sl. I own a club and have been trying to get the traffic up by all legitimate means necessary such as Voodoo Sploders and Magic Fishing etc. Now LL Claims that the traffic is calculated by accumulating the total number of seconds that all avatars are on your land for then that total is divided by 60 and then rounded to the nearest whole number. So if 121 seconds are accumulated then dividing it by 60 would give you 2 land traffic. However, if this is the case then the traffic on your land should only increase and not decrease. Now i have managed to get my land up to over 6000 (no bots used) during a night where we have DJ Sets. The following day was a break day where no sets are held and yet it fell to 2740. So if the method they use to calculate traffic is correct then there is no reason why the traffic count should go down unless they are taking seconds off your total count if/when the sim remains empty. If this is the case then, although i am completely against the use of bots. I understand why people result to this method. Club "Exhale" is a prime example of this I went there and their Traffic count was way over 90K and when i got there. I would guess there were over 50 bots there standing on the side of the dance floor doing absolutely nothing other than increasing the traffic.. LL need to get a handle on this and sort it out because people like myself and others who refuse to use underhanded tactics such as bots, who want to gain traffic legitimately dont stand a chance. OK Sorry rant over.
