Folks viewing that the forum is here will show as guests, folks registering will, but the number of "guests" that show is higher than the number of really interested folks. Many are probably bots. The one to ask is doge1. When I come here my log-in is automatic. <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/profile/19-doge1/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="19" href="<___base_url___>/profile/19-doge1/">@doge1</a> owns the server though, so would be working on it and on the forums software in the background. That would only account for one Admin loggin in, and he is the only other Admin since Jed left. I personally think the "guest" indicators are bad guys (robot spammers) being stopped at the gates.

With most of what silverwolf1 mentioned. Mostly search index bots, or just visitors coming to start logging in or signing up. They can't see anything on the forums at all unless they're signed in. The site goes through another provider then goes to my server. This is so better security and protection from attackers is much more improved. It wasn't like this with the old domain. Which no one had access to after Jed left. Some however do seem to be bots that are signing up. But they end up stopped half way through to do anything.
