    Looking at how many people are on the site when I logged in, been surprised at how many guests are on the last few days. Anyone have any idea as to why?

    We noticed that last evening. Something like 50 registered users and 600 guests. Most online record was yesterday. Hopefully it's not someone trying to flood the server.

      Search engine bot crawlers show up in the stats as guests.

        Quick research says that out of 483 guests listed, 423 of them are search bots.

        dunno why the sudden spike, but that's where the #'s are coming from.

          Would an RSS reader show up as a search bot, too? I've started reading the forum through RSS, and sometimes my reader is logged on even when I'm actually on the site using my browser under my username. Don't know how many others do the same thing.
