Those are mostly search engine crawlers. I see the IP address of everyone on that list and they are usually within the same block. When I research any of those, they tend to be registered to google, microsoft, etc.
Since we're talking about this, I'll explain a little more. The location column shows a user's location by recording the last action they attempted on the site. For example, a crawler would be listed as a guest and it attempts to view a thread in the HDF Bikini Team forum. The online list shows that it is viewing the thread, based on the crawler's last action, even though it is receiving an error telling it to log in to view the thread. Does that make sense? 
Wow! That's the most I posted in months! ÂÂ
