Do ghosts count as traffic?

We got about 15 ghosts on our island, unable to be logged out. Live Help says that LL can (or will) do nothing about it, unless the island owner (who has much better things to do, I am sure) restarts the region. Well, one island owner is a ghost herself, and the other is busy.

So I want to know if I push all the ghosts onto my parcel, if they will count for traffic? I mean, we already made a ghost pyramid, and did some ghost bowling, and are kind of having some fun with it, I am just curious....

Maybe it depends on whether or not they show as online, just guessing as I actually have no clue. Are any of them on your friends list so you can see if the system shows them online or offline?

Ghosting use to occur all the time in the old days. I remeber chatting with people in the same club BUt they were in another Sim. ""Child Agents is what your trying to say are what is refered as ghosting as I was told.
I don`t believe you can be counted "TWICE" while being in two simulators at the same time (Ghost and really in another place) since you have only one sl ID.

What??? Ghosting is back?

If they are really ghosts they are not there and don't count. Just keep having fun with them!

what I mean is that these people are logged in but not active... So, not the same as ghosts on sim borders, for instance.

But SL will not allow them to log out. At all. They just keep getting the "Your account will not be available until XXXX". And they do in fact show as online.

This happened to me three times today, and happened to 15 or so other people in our sim alone. Some of them came back as alts to participate in zombie bowling, myself included :)

Is it wrong to push ghosts out of your area?

When SL took a larger than usual dump a few weeks back, our Island had over 30 ghost avatars on.

Traffic the next day was through the roof (relatively), so yes, shepherd them onto your parcel if you can :D
