Glacier Peak Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 Looks like we're getting a high guest count again. Certainly not close to the 5,000 plus that I noted in the original post three years ago, but I've seen it higher than 500 during non-peak hours.

However, as someone who runs two other web forums and a wiki, those are almost certainly mostly bots and LLM scrapers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neiska Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) Random thought but is it possible that people are browsing the forums from work or something and just don’t log in? That would show up as a guest, right? Just saying it might be something simple. I know I don’t log into forums and things from my work computer, but I might browse the forums at lunch.
