I don't often look at the forum stats, but I notice that this morning there was a record number of users online: 101.

Sadly I wasn't online this morning as I was working. But I am online now.

It's totally misleading and anyway, Carl resets the record back to 0 every so often.

Yes, I thought the 'record' number was rather low. Perhaps the stat should be reworded with a 'since + date...' if there is a reset. 'Bots' may complicate it too.

What are 'Bots'?
I'm a bit of a technophobe.

The typical bots you'd find on a site like this are ones that index it for the purposes of search engines.
