Why support dial-up users? I mean honestly, who would want someone to browse their forum with dial-up?
dial up is different and this serves them with speed increases, but IE4, isn't forcing them to upgrade for their own good with all the nasty virus's that were tailor made for the browser actually doing them and their address book members a favour?

Albeit, it is a very small chunk of users.
yup define hits and define the total to give us an idea of overall usage.

The majority of Internet users still have it, so you have to. To be honest, though, any decent layout should not weight so much as to take a long time to load in any browser, which ominously leads back to the original matter in that table markup (the model and view) defining a page's layout uses more bandwidth than semantic markup (the model) backed up by a style (the view).

Hits: Any files requested from the server (including files that are "Pages")
So just about everything Amongst the other browsers, all the <IE4 hits (including IE4 and even IE3) account for about 0.5% of our total hits. (I couldn't find a browser stat that represented "unique visitors". But putting this stat into perspective gives the general idea.)
my thought is it could all be 1 user 7,000+ hits isnt uncomon if you dont filter that over a time period (say 12hrs) for 1 user. so .5% of the hits could come from 1 user over the duration of your logging period. also it depends when the stats started to be generated.

7,000 hits outta 1million is alot different to 7k outta 50k
