    At about 2:30 this morning I couldn’t sleep for whatever reason and checked BS and saw something odd... there were 10 members and a ton of “guests” around 650.

    Seems really odd to me. Makes you wonder who’s watching us.

    Even right now there’s over 400 “guests” and less than 100 members online.

    Lol, my bud ran a motorcycle forum for a few years and we had a lot of guest traffic. That’s all it truly is. Somebody googles how to install a timney trigger in their AR, a BS thread title pops up, they start cruising the site. There’s a lotta people online and a lot will wind up here. Not to say that there’s never any agency checking things out, of course they are, just not 650 of them at the same time.

    That's how I found out about this site. I was looking for a local gun forum and this was probably the first to pop up.

    If they are watching then I'd better go put my teeth in real quick! Gotta make a good impression!

    A lot of those are actually people who have guest accounts looking at posts and what not. We do get a lot of crawlers, but a majority of what you see in the "guests" is actual people.

    I figured one of you guys could see the analytics for the site behind the scenes. I know that bots or crawlers will index sites for searches but it just seemed like a lot at that time of day or morning.

    Not all that many when you’re talking about the World Wide Web.
