A number of them are bound to be registered users; it's common to pop your head around the door, so to speak, and have a quick poke around without logging in.
There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.

I had wondered at all the anomymous users too...
lots of ppl use the "Do you want to be visible on the "Who's Online" screen? " I think...
Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Yeah, he was really erratic, too. Some of his stuff is really good, and some of it is really bad...

Maybe it's just me that finds this a bit strange but there are only 5 registered (and visible) users online and 25 annonymous. Out of the 25 annonymous users 17 of them are viewing users' profiles. I just find it a bit odd that so many people would want to be viewing profiles. But hey....
One day i'll learn to resist gravity...

Hello again...
Thought I'd resurrect this thread - maybe I'm just not very observant, but it seems like over the last couple of days there are always about 60 lurker-types on at a time!
Of course it is lovely that people are finding the site and showing interest, but some of you guys must be registered!! Come on, don't hide... it's ok to admit that you spend too much time on this website

Well, when i was young my father would always tell me to go and hide when the naighbours came round. I never found out why but i suspect it might of had something to do with my bad hair cut...
and since i havent cut my hair in three weeks....
(note* i normally shave my head every two weeks)

that's no excuse at all!!!
What has your hair got to do with your capacity to lurk? Fool.
Y'see, I feel much happier pm'ing someone if I know they're actually online. Otherwise I tend to think,
f**k it, I'll do it later...

It's weird.
Why are they all looking at profiles?
We should be told who's profile they are looking at.
I've just thought, maybe they are collecting email addresses for nefarious purposes.

This is a frightening development. The last time I was "carebear stared" I felt impulsed to get out of my hammock.
