Guests following me

[White Stripe]

I've noticed if I'm looking at a older random tech thread the counter will show as me as the only person viewing the thread-1 member 0 guests. But if I look at the thread for a few minutes all of a sudden I slowly see guests start also looking at the same thread. The longer I view the thread the more guests come to view it also. Very weird. Happens every time I look at a thread for a while. I will get guests also looking at it. It's as if guests are following me around the forum.

Guests have no means to follow. No clue why that would happen.

I've seen it too. I assume it's bots following any activity.
