Seems this is a pretty good week, saw this on the main page. Plenty of early risers in this group.

Aren't those bots?

How would you know? Tapatalk has the logs.

It was just an assumption. I doubt there are 59 active users or even casual browsers.

On average we get 115 unique visitors per day. Sometimes much more, sometimes much less. Several of those users are indeed bots. But sometimes the bots and real people align to pump up the record for most users online. Also the record stat can be manipulated by adjusting the time period.

On the bright side, it's a new bot record.

Honestly, I can believe the high numbers, since most forums have many many more readers than writers. The board is doing some sort of log analysis to figure out the reader counts, which maybe includes some bots too, depending on how half-assed tapatalk is (hah!) If we cared, I can look at my logs since the images on my posts aren't hosted by them, but I don't care. Let's just believe their impressive-sounding numbers!
