Post subject:  Most Ever Users Online

Tonite at 11:05 this site registered its greatest ever number of users online at one time... 45....

Of those online at that time ... 38 were "Guests"....

word must be spreading

Probably some sort of bot thing - ie not real users. The 38 guests sounds a bit strange.

the bots (I think) are searching on behalf of search engines (ie googlebot is Google's robot/program) I'm not sure how they can post messages or pm's.

As discussed, i've never seen a post or PM from a "bot" I think once the "bot" arrives at the posting page it shows up as "posting a message" even though it can't, much the same way that i'll show up as posting a message when typing this.

Authorised search engines have a "pass" to wander the forum so they can properly index pages
