Title: Number of guests?
Post by: climbing on August 25, 2019, 06:10:20 pm

I've just noticed that there are an absurd number of guests on IYNO right now... is this normal? Is the counter working properly? I've never seen this many guests on IYNO........

Maybe I just haven't noticed before? Just wondering :confused

I've run forums in the past and I know from experience that the bulk of those guests are just bots of some sort. Although there's also certainly a few creeps mixed in given the nature of this forum in particular.

Guest have limited access to what they see. Don’t worry, any of the more “important” areas are hidden to them.

But as Tiberius also mentioned, most would be bots. That’s how internet cataloging happens.
