No. That number includes non-registered users and the high numbers are generated when search engines like Google and Yahoo scan the site to update their own index. They do this by setting a number of simultaneous processes crawling through all of the sections and threads looking for key words to index. Each of these processes is seen by the BB as a separate user.
