Bots don't increase user count?!

[Lord Sokar]

As Paul Harvey would say, 'this is a strange...'.

 

I have bot_minplayers set to 2. But when I look at the game in the browser, it still shows 0/12! What's up with that?

 

Shouldn't the player count be increased, or is it not because of they are bots? I've just started placing them in the game (so people can find the server if they are filtering out empty games).
