this is an interesting post...i was just looking at the side bar thinking that there are not 52 people listed there, there are only 30. i know one of you must know so that's why i ask. my guess is that it's to limit the stress on the server so it doesn't list them all, correct me if i am wrong.

Read it more carefully... it says "52 (or whatever) members online". If there are 30 names listed, it will say "22 guests online" afterwards. So basically it treats everyone who is online as a "member", whether they are registered or not.
