iT ALWAYS PUZZLED ME WHEN tg REPORTED:

Present hit is 4 members to 745 guests

... or similar. How many of these 745 are real Peeps and how many are Bots?
Reminds me of the Matrix ......

PS Sorry about the Caps Lock, I'm not shouting.

Lots. https://www.talkgraphics.com/online.php allows a click on the IP address and it is resolved, so 17.121.115.49 shows as 17-121-115-49.applebot.apple.com. Within its renage, Apple could have 65,000 scouring the web and probably many, many more.

Login and beat the Bots.

Yes but if I click the 'Search Bots' it only reports 15 Guests. If I select Guests it reports 643. If I select Members it reports 6.

Are 643 Peeps viewing TG at that time?

Surely that bot must be reporting wrong I believe we have many more members than 6, although many are not active.

Me too, I wonder what if anything can be done to help bring TG back to its former glory, few participate in the Scribble challenges, few draw anything(including me) to show the capabilities of Xara.

On some forums I think there is a way to show just active members. For example, ones that have logged in at least once within the last six or twelve months. That would give a more realistic idea of what’s going on.

A similar question about forum participation came up in 2018.

It would appear so.
