On the one hand, it could be some flaw in the forum software counting ghosts. On the other hand, it could be some kind of bot/crawler presence. I try to trawl the networking underground just a little, and no one has mentioned any such incident, but they have warned that the government does contract for crawlers. There are also little-known technology companies doing it for their own reasons. They might be scoping us out all of sudden. Then again, it may have been a third party testing something on random servers and didn't bother to tell anyone. It's impossible to know right now, unless you get a look at the server logs and can figure out what it tells you.
