I never paid much attention to it, but I was checking out :ftlop: the other day to see what all the fuss was about and I noticed this

Just a day earlier... Did this have something to do with the abovementioned fuss?

No. That number includes non-registered users and the high numbers are generated when search engines like Google and Yahoo scan the site to update their own index. They do this by setting a number of simultaneous processes crawling through all of the sections and threads looking for key words to index. Each of these processes is seen by the BB as a separate user.

I think that because ours was a new site and suddenly very active, the bots had a lot of work to do, whilst they had already got a lot done for :ftlop: so no need to send as many out.
Port is basically a red drink
