UD already explained it in nauseating detail using his circular logic along with pick & choose reasoning.

I would guess 150 users a day. Most do not post

It's probably a lot of repeat visitors looking to see if there are any new replies or wot not.

From my observation, any unique user is only counted once in the view tally for a thread. Of course every reply is counted.

This is incorrect. Any page view is counted as a page view, not just by unique users. If you reload this page, you will add a view. If you reload this page 5 times, you will add 5 views. That may not be readily noticeable, because although each view has been counted, the displayed view count only updates hourly.


As for your OP question, Rob was about right with typical number of members that login here daily. You can view that near the bottom of the home page:




As for how many total page views daily, about 100k:



If that seems disproportionately high, remember most sections of this site are publicly-viewable, one need not be a member to view this thread (for example).
And yes, a lot of that is going to be bot traffic, there's always numerous search engine bots crawling and indexing this site, and that's totally normal. At any given time, It's not unusual to see only 30-40 members logged in here, but 500+ guests. Those guests are all looking at something here, and thus, generating page views.
