From a real user (but I guess you'll have to take my word on that :)

I am the only real user here. The rest of what you see are all bots I control, or figments of my imagination.

Even pg is a bot, see: https://github.com/mindcrime/pgbot

See? I even control this bot.

I knew you were going to say that.

I have been unplugged from the Matrix. You do not control me!

A rebel! Get him!

You can't catch me, I bend pixels!

The choosen one! But... this is impossible!!!!

I can think of a couple bots I knew of but can't tell you the names. And that is hardly a stat.
