Online Users and Forum Activity

[TedEbear]

I usually look at how many members and guests the forum says are currently online whenever I stop by to check for any new posts.  I cannot believe there are actually hundreds of people on here each day but there have only been 8 new posts in the past 4 months, since the end of February. 

Right now, it says that there are 267 guests and one member online and that there was a record 1,965 number of users online on 3/25/2025. What gives?

Bots?, web crawlers? and maybe a few folks.

I think maybe folks are using the forum as a source for problem solving and no so much "community" like it used to be. That's unfortunate. Some of my very best friends I found on this forum "but the times they are a changin'".

I do miss all the posts over the last few years. I check in a couple times a week and it is sad that there are not many posts anymore.
