MikeWs Fish Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Just noticed the ACE set a new record for the most users online so far. I'm bored at work! Can you tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViS Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I've noticed a lot of forums have had a big increase in memberships since christmas. Maybe lots of people were given tanks (or computers) for chrissy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I've noticed a few forums lately being 'spidered' (I think thats what people call it) It's where bots cycle through the board, usually to collect reference terms for search engines. I don't know if the registration process on this board would stop that happening though? I remember late last year, Chuck's Perth board had 300+(?) users browsing, when in actual fact, only about 4 of us were on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 How does this new total users online compare to the old Sydney forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeyBoyR Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 There has to be a direct correlation between the new member influx and the new mods wouldnt you say mike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViS Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Not sure Ducksta. The security on this board is pretty tight, so I'd assume it wouldn't happen. It didn't happen in this instance though. There were only one or two users I didn't recognise out of the list, so it wasn't just a random list of member names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus13 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 it is also based over 15 minutes, so there may have been 3 different lots of 25 online at the same time.

Chuckmeister Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Search Engine spiders are a good thing. They Index every page on the forum so that when people put in searches into an engine like google, relevent information will be presented. Its the best way to gain new membership. Yahoo (inktomi) can be a little vigerous every once in a while though. My board got hit with over 300 page views from yahoo in one 15 minute block. This sort of indexing can be a pain as it pulls the resources of the board but it is better still to leave it turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Chuck - This board isnt spidered at all. You need to login as a member to see the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
