They are still off with many days and they keep reducing the gap between the real top 5 ones.
Bump for theymos' attention.

If you refresh this page a few times, you'll see the "Time Online" goes up by a couple of minutes in just a few seconds. This topic was created just a day and a half ago, but the "Time Online" has increased by 73 days since then.
Could it be the "Time Online" is counted for each instance that's online, and could it be that user account is used by (give or take) 50 different bots scraping the forum at the same time?

I think those bottom 5 accouts are scraping/reporting bots maybe part of Cyrus' task force Cryptios. We would never know for sure but they are still messing up with the stats.
... so bump for visability...

The first 5 (up to @grv) are consistent, but the bottom five have been replaced, baring numbers that seemingly incoherent in relation to the gap of days between the two stats (current vs the one referenced above).

@whitesark5 is in the same incongruent situation as @papperbag too, and so are the rest of the trailing five entries.    

So this should be regarded as a mistake? Or a bug?  Because the list is for most time online and those accounts are nothing close to the time frame allocated to them and what's fishy is that most of them where registered on the 17th of August last year.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. MTwain
If you compare with the same stats from the 19/07/2019, it looks like some of the entries in the stat are consistent (for a month and 10 days gap), whilst others are completely off. See https://web.archive.org/web/20190719212948/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats

Apart from the date of creation, the incoherent accounts are Brand New, and are currently online. That is weird, and perhaps those accounts have been active 24/7 since they were created. That still does not add-up, but there may be a casual relationship.

Could be something related to the cookies: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/is-it-a-bug-3173586

Hello guys..

Browsing the forum stats I found something wrong.

The user papperbag was registerd back in 2018..

Code:
Date Registered: 	August 17, 2018, 09:40:02 AM
Last Active:        Today at 08:50:50 AM

If you check the top 10 of Most Time Online base on the stats he was online for 1238d 8h 12m
How this is possible when he was registerd 379 days ago??
Code:
hmblm1245 		2387d 17h 35m
keewee        2318d 4h 26m
bitpop        1843d 12h 35m
Lauda        1540d 3h 36m
grv        1388d 15h 2m
randomnessie        1248d 10h 43m
papperbag 1238d 8h 12m
whitesark5 1228d 14h 54m
flagge        1202d 2h 48m
x-ample 1197d 12h 44m

BTW, those accounts are registered on the same day except the first one:
