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

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

Also, bots.

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

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

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.

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.

More original, perhaps. But not actually original.

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.

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