Re: User connected for long periods ... any ideas?

 had allot of friends in the old (BBS) days that used to run a script to
stay logged into role-playing games.  The script would issue repeating
commands to their characters in the games, allowing the characters to
advance in the game while the person was at work all day or whatever.

Seems like it would be too expensive a strategy from an international
perspective, but if you have something else on your site/system that rewards
constant user interaction...??

It's Media House Live Stats v5.0

And right now, the package says this about that particular user:

<ip address>  NET: <name of his host computer>  RDNS: n/a
Origin:   Sao Tome    Time:   641 min   Hits / Kb:    412 / 6298.53Kb


So, for now he's been attached in a session for 641minutes, he's hit the
page 412 times, and downloaded 6.2MB.

A "session" expires after fifteen minutes of inactivity, meaning no hits
have been made on the Web site for 15 minutes.

So why would one computer want to keep hitting our site  hour after hour on
the same page?
