Admin For some reason I logged on this morning at 5.30am, this , I was suprised with the traffic, why do we have 101 guests at this time of the morning ?
More than likely bots from search engines cataloguing the pages. At the moment we're quite low in the list if you search for Watford forums, both hopefully this will improve and our membership will continue to expand. People can help by posting links on other sites.
'tis a quiet time on these boards at the moment (apart from the bots you speak of). Close season is always like this.
Robots, also known as web robots or simply bots, are software applications that run automated tasks over the internet. Typically, bots perform tasks that are both simple and structurally repetitive, at a much higher rate than would be possible for a human editor alone. The largest use of bots is in web spidering, in which an automated script fetches, analyses and files information from web servers at many times the speed of a human. Each server can have a file called robots.txt containing rules for the spidering of that server that the bot is supposed to obey. Full details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_bot
Most users Most users online shows an astounding 334 on Monday. I can't remember what happened on Monday to get everyone so excited. Can anyone help?
Ah yes. Must have been as we only have 259 active members. It was probably something to do with all that getting up the google front page business. I thought I'd missed a big story.
When people talk about bots I imagine those creatures from the old Cadbury's Smash commercials. If they are invading it could be fun, they seemed to have a sense of humour.
It seems to happen a lot to Birdy. Maybe it's all his multiple personalities being counted every time he's on :]]
Pest Control What's a Yahoo Slurp Spider? There seem to be several on site at the moment. Do we need to call in Pest Control?
