That was the first thing I saw when I logged-on juast now. Was anyone online at the time who happened to notice the breakdown (members, guests, bots)?

Mostly spiders, I suspect.

That high number seems like it may have been caused by a glitch in the system. The previous 'record' ~ if I recall properly ~ was less than half that number (somewhere in the middle 200's).
Sawatdee is very popular for sure, but I rather doubt this new record of 492.

For interest sake, copied this set of stats from TingTong Board a few minutes ago:


In total there are 7 users online :: 1 Registered, 0 Hidden and 6 Guests

Yeah, I saw that. It isn't any glitch, but it is mostly 'bots, and mostly from Yahoo. The funny thing is that even though Yahoo sends all those 'bots to eat up our bandwidth, if you try to actually find this site in Yahoo search using any relevant keywords, it's as if they don't even know we exist. Oh well, thank heavens for Google!

Hi Robert, could you explain what these "bots" are and why they are such avid readers?! Thanks

They read webpages for search engines so they can determine the content of the page and its relevance to any given keyword search.

Thanks for explaining. Wow. Amazing. Any one care to guess roughly how many of the 500 odd visitors were bots?

About 400 bots.

Whenever I'm on line there seem to be approx 20 registered members and between 80-100 guests. Plus 3 or 4 invisibles of course.

Yes, but search engine bots from Yahoo, Google and MSN are listed in the whos online box separately from "guests". Some of the "guests" may also be bots from other search engines and also spam-bots. Many "guests" are also either members that are not logged-on and other real people who are not yet registered members.

"Invisible" is just members who choose the option in their profile to not be listed by name in who's online. They are still logged-in members.
