Why are there so many lurkers on here? 1,000 different people have visited in
the last three days.
Running a legal-themed BBS is a first for me, but it's interesting to see the
usage patterns-- there have been 5,161 different visitors in the last 30 days,
with 1,000 unique visitors just in the last three days. But there are only
thirty-something registered users. Why are there so many lurkers when you have
to register to post? My theory is that it's entertainment by proxy, which is
interesting in itself. I wonder if other sites have the same thing happen.

I did a quick filter for bots and spiders, and it's still about 4,000 people.

You may be correct-- once I do per-user blocking, if there is a subsequent
barrage of registrations, that seems like evidence of your theory. Lol.
