Yes...and it's not coincidence either. I've seen quite a few days since I've been on this board (say at least 7 to 10) where there have been hundreds of guests present throughout the day...not sure what to make of it.

Might this help?

I have been logged on to the MA&D board 24/7 for months. I go over and visit, look at the topics, post a response now and then. Then minimize, and when I want to go back, I am still logged on.

Here, I log on, and for random, vicious reasons known only to the softwarre, I get booted off. So I come back to the board, look around, see if there is anything I want to comment on, but during that time I am not logged on. If I want to make a post, I log back on.

Could that be an explanation?

For a few days now, I've had to sign in for every post. Simply going to a thread logs me off.

Some of it's bots, some of it's news organizations monitoring, some of it's FAIR/MADites lurking and monitoring, some of it's curious Mormons, some of it's curious exmos, some of it's curious nevermos, some of it's registered members not logged in.

I wouldn't underestimate the number of news organizations/bloggers/etc. monitoring some of these discussion boards in the wake of Romney's run and President Hinckley's death.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.
