t'would be cool if guests showed up on the forumhome whois online list as 'Guest'. example:
customcpu, drives_fast, eva2000, GameZilla, Jakeman, jim_rainor, Joe, Mac Write, NSeXcellent, okoboji, powerKILLS, SWFans.net, The Prohacker, thebeginner, tubedogg, Wacko, xCRYINGoutLOUDx, Zaphod, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest
my forums would look busier :D

I think it would take a bit more than just looking cool for the Devs to consider it. At least pretend to believe it has more meaning than to hide the fact that your forum isn't all that busy. (Dump the mac-bits and you'll see it blossom quite nicely. ;))

nope, that's the only reason :p
i'm sure i could hack this in if it isn't included as a feature.

Heheh, if I were to hazard a guess I'd say the best you could hope for by way of a no-hack inclusion would be to see 'Guest' for a single guest, or 'Guests' for multiple guests.

What would be cool, though, is if vB recorded each guest with a guest identifier... like Guest #1, Guest #2, etc.
That way, you'd know the difference between which guests were doing what in Who's Online. You also would know which ones have lurked for longer. The benefits would be nothing short of fantastigubulous.
