Nearly 1000 Guests Online?

I did some things to alter the number on the previous site due to bots and webcrawlers. These things are likely the cause of the inflated numbers, but I'm not going to mess with it on the new site. Webcrawlers will sometimes put 25 or more 'crawlers' on the site all at once, and these show up as "viewers" or "guests". I'm guessing our session times are longer than necessary, so that keeps the visitors 'active' for a longer time than they're actually still there. All these things can artificially overstate that number.

Perhaps eventually I'll look at this again, but it's not high on my list at the moment.
