We seriously need an answer to this, once and for all.

What is the deal with our guests? Why so many? Who are they?

Bots most likely.

Bots most likely.

Cheats says that the majority of them aren't bots.

I lurked off and on for a few weeks before creating an account.

My guess is that some of them are lurking/shopping around and some are banned members keeping an eye on things (and raging at how unfair their ban is "when other people are doing worse shit than I ever did and they get away with it"  'cause modz=nazis naturally).

And then there's the stalkers.   Who knows what they're after?

But there's just so many!

there are always more lurkers than posters, it's a rule.
