    It just makes it look disorganized and like you have more bots than users browsing the site, gives the impression it's kind of dead. Would rather see just a few guys signed in with guests browsing than spiders.

    Just my two cents. :D

    It doesn't really bother me as well, but it should look a little cleaner, as Lucas said, to only show the members that are currently online at the moment. I'm not certain, but newbie admins that joins this forum, that doesn't know what a spider is, might think that they're real members... Just my three cents, not two, :)

    That is probly part of the point. the spiders make the forum look bigger and more active.
