Why don't you block access to the site for non-registered members again?

It was like that a couple of months back, when you had to login to view the forums.

It would stop the lurkers that don't have a username. I mean at the moment there are 83 guests online that aren't contributing anything at all.

Or limit the amount of guests that can view the page at any given time like I think was once done when the old server couldn't handle the amount of people after a matchday.
 
I thought most guest were crawler bots?

You would surely have to have the homepage as a login screen to stop them.
 
The ones that lerk in the archives (usually grouped up together in a small number of pages) are suspicious at best

So what exactly are web crawlers?

they are search engine spys, like msnbot and yahoo slurper, they index the site, so any queries are more accurate.

try putting your own username in gooogle or yahoo and see what you find.
