Why such a difference? Is it just that many of the "guests" are actually members who haven't signed in or is there some reason so many visitors are not becoming members?
Just curious.

About 40% are attributed to internet "bots", the other 59% are lurkers located world wide. 1% are the usual spammers attempting to open new accounts in which to flood this site with their advertisements.
