google spiders, spam bots. Highly unlikely to be real people at all.

Some who get past the sign up process will post spam, which the mods delete/save to private folder as appropriate

Plus I"m not entirely sure that the number of guest relates to individual "users".

On looking through the list I see "Guest" checking out pages fro 2008 / 2009 for 14 seconds.

My guess is that bots/spiders are counted each time they view a page.

So, one bot/spider viewing 10 pages = 10 guests.

Also... I might be wrong here but I"m sure it was "past 15 minutes" before.. now its 180.. although I could be wrong. Maybe a setting changed on the forum (not me honest!) x

It"s something I"m working on guys and nothing to worry about.  Guests are a mixture of non signed in people (some members, some not) and some google bots.

Hey...I resemble that remark...no doubt you are investigating the "anomaly".

I"m still waiting on Kinboshi to start random posting so that I don"t overtake him.
