I was trying to clean up list of members so that we could see what was up with members... Bill wanted them on and restored them, but if they are like me and forget sites that they become members on.....they will never be back. I got a email from Two Wheel Texans where I bought some parts for a tw200... Haven't been on there of years.... I guess I was hoping to draw more banter and there by get more people here

John those are the faces that are called Post Icons at the top of the page... You can click them and add them to the tag line

I liked my theory better but you are right. Still, right now there are 8 active viewers and none of these are members. Are Bots really guests?

I'm certainly no expert on forums such as this one but those "guests" are sometimes bots created by search engines to index the internet. For instance if you go to google and search "Guests that lurk.... Register and chime in" you might see it as the top listing. Google and all other search engines index (data mine) all websites on the Internet, that's how it works.
