how can there have been 94 users on at once with only 75 registered? 19 deleted users?
I assume bots and crawlers were also taken into account here
Yeah, i'd assume that guests count towards that 94.
You can try
http://python-forum.io/online.php
If you are an admin you see everybody (and their IP) and can tell what the user is doing (forum read, posting, reading mail...). Members can elect to be shown there or not to other regular members and guests.

This is correct.
Although...on the old forum by PhpBB this is identical. You just couldnt tell because there was thousands of users, and only a few hundred online at once. It seems to be standard for forum software to count guests in the users online at once.
You can be online and not registered.
ok, at least 19 guests at that time.
You don't need to be registered to read the forums. Hence 94 less 75 gives number of user reading but not registered? i.e 19 Unregistered Visitors reading the forum pages.
Thanks for repeating the same information given in this very thread a few posts earlier.. :D
By the way, the current status shown today, that is almost 5 months after the above:
