NJDevs4978 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 'Some'thing's buggy in the statistics part of the site, period. And no I didn't do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Devil Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 (edited) Just noticed that and was just about to ask. One possibility is that somebody gave a link to this site at a website with very heavy traffic. The number seems to be dwindling down(245-132 users in the last 5 minutes) so it looks pretty legit that the site DID get hit with a lot of users... What they were looking for I don't know All you guests(if you exist): Identify yourselves! Edited January 7, 2005 by E-Devil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was a rogue segment of the player's union trying to get information about the other side, and are tired of the "filtered" news from the union.

CRASHER Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I liked it better when the on-line record was on my birthday I smell conspiracy !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Part of the reason of the upgrade was because of this damn bug. What is going on is the search engines send a bot to my site, but for some reason the board keeps viewing them as visitors. This is bad when Google or MSN launch their daily bot assault of 2-400 creepers on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Devil Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 That makes sense DM. I knew the search engines send out bots to find webpages but I never would imagine that they would send 500 of them to the same page at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 can't you make it so you need to be a registered member to count in that total ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 It's supposed to be a hard coded feature that they are not counted on the user total. I took of their invisiblility cloak so when the number is spiking again you guys can tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 like right now DM ? was wondering why I saw them in the user list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Yup, I had them hidden until just now. They are here all day and night usually. But until recently it wasn't counting towards users online. I think the upgrade (previous one) must have screwed something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeps Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Funny, I was going to ask someone, but found the answer first Bots are crazy... one time I needed to send a paper to myself, but my e-mail wasn't working, so I posted it on my webspace. Lo and behold, what happens but that I forget to take it down. So when you searched for my name on Google, what was the first thing to come up? My final paper, ten pages, in full, one that earned me an A in the course and I could likely sell for a cool $100, but without anything standing in the way of someone downloading it and submitting it as their own. Lucky for me, I got to it first - if my school saw it, I could have had some serious hardball questioning... The price of the internet.

njdevils_info Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) I get plenty of bots to my site, but my search engine ranking sucks on most search engines. I think Google likes my site, but that's about it. EDIT: I take that back, MSN likes my site, google I'm no where to be found (yet listed first on the fan page directory).

DevilsRule.com Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I take that back, MSN likes my site, google I'm no where to be found (yet listed first on the fan page directory). Doesn't that drive you nuts? Google used to be good, but now somehow there are a TON of sites that are selling a devils item that somehow manage to get better search position than a number of useful fan sites.

DevilMinder Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 MSN has hit me 70,000 times with bots Google 59,000 times Inktomi (?) 43,000 times Yahoo 10.000 times MSN has been the nutball lately, they didnt even exist on the logs three months ago.

My numbers are a bit lower than that, but I don't let the bots into my forums (and a few other sections of my site)... MSN definitely kicked up big time, with the preparation & release of their updated search engine.. I'm thinking I should send Mr. Gates a bill for his bots bandwidth usage..

DevilMinder Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I used to get a lot of referrals from google but now you two (devilsrule and devilsinfo) easily outnumber google. I would figure between the three of us we account for 40% of the Devils fans traffic, makes no sense for other sites to come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
