Really?
 
I've noticed it before, couldn't be bothered bringing it up though.

Why don't they just sign up already? I didn't think Oddworld was so popular that there are 40-60 guests reviewing our senseless shit over a continuous eternity :fuzconf:

They could be people with registered accounts who don't feel like logging in until they care about posting something.

Also, bots.

Mudokon_Master 10-24-2011 02:32 AM

Aren't bots meant to advertise shit for whatever reason?
How can they do that without a registered account?

Wil 10-24-2011 02:37 AM

Bots like those that crawl the site to make everything show up in Google searches.

Havoc 10-24-2011 02:50 AM

Bots are identified as such though. Right now I just see regular guests online.

Most of them aren't bots. A lot of them are just people who probably don't come here regularly but have just stumbled upon this website from a search engine.

Always? 100% of the time? There are more bots out there than just the search engine ones.

I made a blog about this once.

T-nex 10-24-2011 04:15 AM

I made a thread about this once.

Nate 10-24-2011 04:15 AM

And you weren't particularly original even then.

EDIT: Posted at the same time as T-Nex. But my post can apply to her too.

T-nex 10-24-2011 04:16 AM

NUH UH! Mine was more original than Dixy's >: ( !!

Dixanadu 10-24-2011 04:44 AM

She can have this one.

Nate 10-24-2011 05:36 AM

More original, perhaps. But not actually original.

moxco 10-24-2011 05:53 AM

How did we get 527 users online once? It's not like there was any important Oddworld news in May 2006 to draw in search engine results.

Wil 10-24-2011 06:59 AM

I decided to look at the OddBlog archives to see if that's true, and it turns out yes. Not one single news story.

Hobo 10-24-2011 01:17 PM

I'm going to do something modly.

Wil 10-24-2011 03:29 PM

Who are you?
