90 guests on the forum !?

[jim in paris]

hi all
this morning at 6am paris time,
midnight in US time,
there were 90 " guests " looking at the forum
same count every morning for the past few days

I was wondering if it was for real
or if it was a sotfware breech or maybe "bots" ?

did you notice a similar popularity at other times of the day ?

good day
jim
