Most Users Online

This appears at the bottom of the pages. I noticed just now it says:

"Most users ever online was 65,177 at 7:20 PM on 09-21-2024"

Holy Cow!! Can that truly happen?

I've been seeing some crazy user numbers lately as well. This smells of bots and possibly a ddos attack. Maybe the website team is doing it to stress test the server?

At this moment:

There are currently 25297 users online. 275 members and 25022 guests..

Performance is good though but 25,000 guests?
