So what you think if the most users online... What was that...

[Syf]

This is something Majestic and I are aware of. How it happened is still being looked into. There is no reason to be alarmed. It appears to be a glitch and nothing more.

[Majestic]

Indeed, there seems to be a few glitches lately, like PM's coming in with only quotes. EAS_Intrepid received one from me like that and I received one from another member a few hours ago.

I will be seeing about updating the forum software with the latest version over my Christmas holidays.

I'm not alarmed I only puted over here like to metion it like a maybe somekind of funy thing. :lol2:

[Syf]

For those wondering, the reason behind this...

Most users ever online was 283, 01-11-2006 at 20:12.

It's actually very simple. That day we had over 200 spiders/search engine BOTs accessing - scanning our forum. Bots mostly from Yahoo, Google, and MSN search engines. So, that was why we had 283 total online users. It was very unusual to have that many bots on here all at the same time. Normally, it's between 1-20 bots scanning the site, however, that day was strange.

I hope this will settle any further questions about this.

Yep, we've been google'd!

[Hellkite]

Yep, we've been google'd! hard :wink: LOL

[Syf]

Indeed... We've been Google'd, Yahoo'd, and Micro"Shaft'd" (MSN)!:p

Well, atleast people should be able to find us using a search engine now.:thumbsup:

[Hellkite]

that is the is true I looked us up on Google and the site it's right on the top link

[Blindeye]

Could be worse, we can always use some attention.

[Elrond]

Yep, same visitors my site has - Inktomi Corporation (aka Yahoo), Google, Microsoft, MIT (yes, they observe all these sites), Altavista, and other spiders and webcrawlers.

Could be worse, we can always use some attention.

And a lot of spammer tough...
