Most users ever online was 5,033, 07-Nov-15 at 08:33

Why then? What happened?

Given the absence of responses, should I conclude that no-one here knows why the message board was so busy in the morning of 7 November 2015?

The question should be " why has no one ever posted it before or if they did ,why did it never appeared" .

[aqua]

Are you suggesting that some of these 5,033 users have joined the “disappeared”?

well considering that there are just over 2100 members on the entire forum, i think either the forum has lost more than half it's members or it's just a random number generated by the forum itself.

crawl bots. If the forum is supported by google analytics then google will send crawl bots in order to keep the info they use to make the .org searchable up to date. Bots will register as anonymous users on some basic counters.

Thanks.

But why so many crawl bots on that particular day?

They were all on an early shift bonus! ��
