"1065 users active in the past 15 min"
As I'm writing this, 1065 people are on this forum. 393 of them are reading posts in Off Topic section, 51 in Politics, 25 in Religion, and so on.

There seem to be at least several hundred people present on the AF at any given moment, and yet there's very little activity (posting) compared to the number of people visiting this place at any given moment.

So people around the internet are eager to read our posts and to hear our opinion on stuff. We must be some esteemed intellectuals.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Likely bots, troll accounts, the curious, and the religious fanatics looking for any ammo to attack us with on their own forums.

There are that many sessions active, the vast majority of them are not logged in, and an overwhelming number of those are probably search engine crawlers and other bots.

It's extraterrestrials, determining whether or not they want to reveal themselves.

If ETs have any sense, they'll stick to building pyramids in another solar system. This one has too many crazies.  Hehe
