Yeah it sat at over 200 for like 24 hours. Now seems back to normal.

have no idea

I kept thinking it was some sort of bot attack but I don't even really know how that stuff would work

internet is getting freaky man

Embarrassingly, all those thousands of hits all day yesterday got us zero new registrations lol

Either I'm the worst forum maker ever, or those were bots (maybe both :D)

There was this other weird anomaly where just about whatever thread I would visit would have double digit viewers, many times 90 viewers or 10 viewers exactly (even though there were only 200 or something total) Didn't add up. Like it was following my clicks or something. Also sometimes if I kept hitting the home button like a slot machine junkie it felt like you could make the numbers go up lol

Anyways that's why I think it would be some bot swarm but like I said I know nothing about how that would work.
If anyone has some insight on bots and how they interact with forums etc it would be interesting. We have a bunch of regular creepy bots here I don't know how to shut off.

If however it was real people somehow seeing this forum that would be cool

These are not the bots youre looking for
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.

We broke our record again!

Jan 8 2024. Somehow, there were 471 users viewing.

I still think it's bots, but I'll drink to it nonetheless :D

Cheers gang!

Today I've been getting this error:

"General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

User i3108345_bb2 already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections [1203]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists."

So maybe we are being overloaded with bots? Every thread has 60+ viewers all the time yets theres only like 5-10 participants.

^^ OK you too?

does that mean this place has a maximum of 1203 viewers and then it conks out?

I've never seen the count go higher than 400. Yet I;m getting the same message

Weird
Apologies, if it persists I'll see what I can do

Is the forum working better for everyone?

I will just assume Vutu hacked in & fixed it for us.

Thanks Vutu!
