Why are there so many guests? Are they bots?

Total: 1,327 (members: 204, guests: 1,123)

Rule of thumb is 50% of guests are likely bots.

I thought so too.

Suicidal robots. No wonder. I'd be pissed off if I was Alexa having to answer dumb questions all day long.

Can anyone explain?

Giving yourself a solution I see You have joined the exclusive Solution Club of 20 members :D (page)

Anyway, according to this page, at this moment when 1679 people are visiting the website, the statistics are:

1679 Visitors:

217 Members:​

155 Visible members
62 Invisible members​

479 Robots
983 Guests​

Any guest may still be a bot though, just one that doesn't announce itself as one.

The vBulletin admin panel has graphs on things such as visitors, threads, posts and more. So I presume XenForo has those too. I'm curious what they look like: the peaks and valleys (time zones) and the numbers on special days.

I ignore anyone who sends me a private mail that just says " I'm going to kill myself today" How do you get rid of those messages?

I am sure that the 'De ad Internet Theory' is entering a notable phase on most websites at this point. There are bots EVERYWHERE especially on youtube.
