I just clicked on 'who's online' and having been used to seeing somewhere between zero and 3 researchers in recent years, was somewhat shocked to see many dozens, if not hundreds of names!
Almost like in ye'olden hootoo days. But I assume this is a bug and it's just showing every registered user?

Correction; 224 users to be precise! (it says so at the top).

My guess is that a bot was searching the site. The "Who's Online" thingy broke years ago. Now if anyone searches a researcher's page, that researcher will appear on the online list, EVEN Nighthoover.
