Yes, a number of these are bots (both good and bad bots). Others are visitors having a "look see". Often forum members will drop by to check on posts without formally logging in.

I'm guilty as charged. Didn't even realize I wasn't signed in 'til I tried to post. That way I don't lose todays "NEW posts" It is one way I "cheat" when I'm trying to catch up with all the new stuff.
What do you mean "bad bots" not the "Terminator" I am sure.

I wander what danger pose bad bots to this site and its users?

Even when I'm signed in, seems to have a time limit. It seems to sign me out after a little while (10-15 minutes maybe), because when I go to do another post or something I have to sign in again. I'm assuming during this period that I've signed in, but timed out, I'm showing as a guest, so that might be another explanation. Not sure. Does this happen to anyone else or is it maybe a Linux thing?

OK when you log in, here's what you need to do... Type in your name,type in your password check the box that says "Remember me", hit log in button. This should keep you from being kicked out until you log out.
