There I am astonished in "10 Most Time Online" section. All the 10 accounts are Brand new. All the accounts Registered in Bitcoin Forum From 14 to 17 August, 2018.
First account total online time is 7527d 21h 19m.
From Aug 14, 2018 to Today=7527 days.

How it is possible?
What type of Bitcoin ID it is?

It's a bug.
They are probably parsing forum pages and sending so many requests with multiple devices.

Here are two threads discussing about this issue. (There are probably more topics.)
The forum stats are wrong! @theymos check it out,please.
"Total time logged in" bug and accounts with long time logged in


Bitcoin Forum record its history from November 2009 to December 2017. But there was no history after December 2017.  
As logfiles said, statistics were no longer updated after DDos attack on December 2017.

Below is the post Theymos made that time regarding disabling some features.

I might've figured it out. A bunch of things are currently disabled; I'll work on safely enabling them in the coming days.

Alex_Sr has provided some unofficial stats for new users per month. It has been updated until January 2020. (Visit the link below)

What is the reason behind this?
I think this has something to do with the DoS attacks that were starting to become frequent in late 2017. Admin decided to disable such stats because hackers were using them to orchestrate attacks

There was a similar thread late last year and IIRC the consensus was the various UID's are logged in continuously from multiple sources and one or two are scraping the data, posts, registrations etc.
