Another question I have involves the number of 'guests' that visit my forum message board, I have not advertised (much) as I continue to restructure the new looks of the forum but I did mention my forum on a couple of other popular forums and since then I have had a large number of unregistered 'guests' visiting the site on a daily basis, Many of them posting or trying to post messages as guests, which is not possible,

It is as if another version of my forum existed where members have joined and been diverted to leaving me doing the work while others take the credit elsewhere, I know this may sound crazy or exaggerated to some but, I have had such experiences in the past, that is why I ask, If it is not that, what could it be with such a huge volume of 'guests' usually posting messages that cannot be posted and absolutely none of them joining,

In addition, one friend of mine in Belgium joined and after about ten posted messages she suddenly never returned, and all my mails to her at facebook and to her private email never reach her anymore, I cannot even say hello now,

Another (internet) friend joined and since that day all contact to her at other forums and at my forum has stopped 100% as if she suddenly vanished from the face of the Earth, or at least the face of my internet access here, That was directly after she said she would join and even help out as a mod and even expressed excitement about it, That was the last I 'heard' from her,

Another person I met a few weeks ago, also interested in philosophy like me, said he would join with the name Damien, On that same day a new member joined with the name Damien and the profile read that he is a 13 year old martial arts instructor, which I thought funny, A few days later I saw that person again and asked why he joined and never posted anything and about the 'under age for internet forums' when he is in his 20s and the martial arts instructor thing and he said he had joined but did not yet fill out his profile with anything of the sort, I never heard from him again,

Any comments please...

The unregistered guests are malicious bots.
