Alright, what is up with this? I really cant imagine that there are 50+ people online at all time (I never saw less then 50) and that still we dont got that much members?

I guess you are referring to the number at the bottom of the forums start page which shows the people watching the forums.

Looking at the numbers of the different sub-forums I would say half of them are actually active and are reading posts, and the other peoples have not closed their browser or so. There are many people who read the forums but don't login (which requires gold), so the number of active accounts is usually far lower.

Bots view threads too, and there's a hell of a lot on this forum.

I'm sure most of them are Yahoo bots. There are a ****ing lot of Yahoo bots.

What do those bots to then?

They just crawl... collect information for search engines. Most forums have options the admins can check to disable allowing bots to crawl the forums, but then the forums wouldn't show up in searches on search engines like Yahoo and Google.
