    Default So many lurkers! Or...bots?

    I'm sure we've all noticed the 400+ guests on the forum.

    Is it mostly crawlers/bot traffic? Or are people really just that shy?

    ha! Maybe a lot of folks aren't sure if they want to hang out with us or not?

    Could it be members who aren't logged in?

    I suspect that the 400 guests are web crawlers and people who followed links from search engines. Web crawlers use a range of IP addresses so that they will appear to be separate users to the board.
