    do you have a thought as to why?

    I think a lot of it has to do with some technical tweaks that improves our placement on searches.

    Doing some comparing this morning with MDS and some other communities.

    This number comes from a national community with nearly 10 times the professed membership:
    Total: 429 (members: 25, guests: 270, robots: 134)



    Our numbers for the exact same moment:

    Online Users: 283 - 77 members and 206 guests

    I have noticed that this forum rarely if ever shows on my searches. I use the "site:" trick If I want to search this site specifically.
