Why are we at 417 people on the boards?

Not that I mind, but why in a matter of minutes are there over 400 people, mostly guests on the message board? Are these bots or did we get linked somewhere?

Probably members who aren't logged in, people just passing through, people from other candidates looking here, or maybe Ron Paul is one of the people looking here as a guest.

Noticed that as well, it's most likely a large number of spiders from google or yahoo that are crawling all the 37,000 posts you spammers have made!

Usually the number of guests viewing hovers around 50 or so... When you see a large spike like that, it's either the forums being crawled by search engines or you made it on the front page of Digg or Reddit.

I confess, I was one of those Guests. I get logged out if I don't do anything for a few minutes.

Check box my man...check box.

On the plus side, the more checking us out, the better. :D

I'm wondering if we got a surge from Digg or some other social website.
