Do you think the record of 500 online users at once will ever be broken?

Could we have a big get together at some point and smash that figure?

Yeah it was something like that. Right now we have 45 members on line, of which 6 are registered members and 39 are guests, of these 39, only 1 appears to be a real guest, the other 38 are search spiders or bots of some form or other.

I don't get this online thing, How do you chat to other people?

See the number of members, that's the number of members logged in.
If you count the names of the visible members, thats the number of visible members, and if there is a difference between the number of names, and the number of members online, that's the number of invisible members :-P

Automated programmes that search and index the website for search services such as google, msn, bing etc. As well as the more malicious programmes which search thte site looking to exploit any vulnerabilities in the sites code and infect the site with malware.
