Interesting spike in traffic...

thecreeper · 04-18-2005, 10:29 PM

Today our maximum users spiked from 10 ever at once to "Most users ever online was 170, 04-15-2005 at 05:52 AM."

it seems like we were popular today...yet no one new signed up. better luck next time i guess.

No, that was just a bunch of search spiders archiving the threads, I saw it happening that night, and was like, wtf?!

I went in, and theres actually an option for the who's online to display which search engine's spiders are perusing the board, it wasn't activated.

ah...very strange though. i figured that spiders wouldnt have shown up as guests.

Yeah..because the option was disabled, VB just caught an IP viewing a page and noted them as guest, when I looked at the who's online when it showed 19 or 20, they were all from the same network, most cases the first 3 sets of digits were identical.

gt i'm pretty sure you're wrong and that we had 170 visitors that were for-real human beings
