I really do think a good portion of those guests are bots of some sort.

It's a mix of both really. It's fair to say everyone is a little more open as you can to some extent hide behind a handle and an avatar. Outgoing people are just as inclined. You are right most of the time it's tones of yahoo google and sometimes MSN bots. Other ones as well however about 30% of the time guessing it's actual members representing most with much much fewer bots. Sometimes from the admin when I see just rows of guests I wonder and think it must be stumble traffic.
