It is possible that you won't find the site runners at a visible anomaly. In that case, if you're still certain that they are running some site, it is possible that they have either finished an anomaly and the sig has de-spawned or they are running a date or relic site (which has to be scanned down). You could wait a bit to see if they move on to another anomaly or if you are proficient at combat probing (and have combat probes on your ship), go ahead and try to probe them down. Otherwise, request that someone else come to the system and help find them.

===Miners===

It's fairly simple to find active miners in a system:

*If you see mining barges on d-scan and especially not in proximity of a force field:

**Do a 5 degree max range d-scan of any ore anomalies in the system

**Once you have narrowed them down, announce your find (preferably in mumble) and warp to the site cloaked at 10 (zoomed out and with your Tactical Overview turned on)

**Check whether the site is within d-scan range of the hole that your fleet will be coming from and convey that information to your fleet

**Approach the miner(s) to get a good warp-in (be very careful of the asteroids that can de-cloak you!)

**Keep d-scanning for the presence of any backup the miners might have in the system

**Once in place, have the rest of your fleet jump in while you go for hero-tackle or wait until a HIC (hopefully) arrives and whore on the kills :-)
