Hackers?

   I am using mini track and am getting people listed as navigating towards random urls such as

   /bbpress/bb-includes/js/list-manipulation-js.php?ver=440

   That doesn't sound like somewhere they should be...are they bots?
   One has signed up and is navigating to strange places such as the one above.

   Sorry if this is a stupid question.

   I think that's one of the default javascripts scripts loaded in the topic.php page.

   It only shows in mini-track because it's generated by a php file.

   Most of the javascript in bbPress can be disabled and makes for faster loading pages (ajax goes away however).

   So the answer is no, it's not hacking. But you will see the attempts sooner or later - there are thousands of bots out there scanning sites and most people are unaware.

   I'll put in some code to exclude bb-includes in the next mini-track.
