hmmmmmm...there is something bad wrong with that "1,001 guests"..
well, i guess a bunch of them could be search engine crawlers,
spam-house eAddress harvesters, a few actual guests coming in to read
hits served up by google et al, and another few actual 'users'
trekking in via nntp (and therefore counted as 'guest'), like myself...

You seem to be assuming that members actually sign in, whereas it's highly likely that many members browse (as guests) without signing in until they need to post, given the short time to auto signoff. Along with googlers, nntpers, and global availability, 1000 isn't that difficult to achieve, really.
