I had no idea you could check that stat, that is really interesting. Also a bit disturbing... I always thought that the number of "Users Online" was all logged in people. What do people do here if they're not logged in? Am confused [emoji=dusthide confused size=1]

I know it might be concerning seeing high numbers, but its just players with their accounts set to invisible. No to mention, any time that the user count gets actually concerningly high, Staff knows and they monitor.
Plus, bots aren't always harmful, nor is there usually an active person behind them. Most bots just crawlers or scrapers that go around collecting relevant information on the site (literally just for search engines).

I'm thinking maybe someone fairly popular on some social media platform mentioned FR and a bunch of their fans are checking it out? It's happened before.
Site has been really laggy for me for a few days now though. Not sure if it's related or just my browser needing to update or something.
