PY is busy
Been looking at the street and race section last few days street has well over 350 and race 200 people on?? Is this for real it’s over double of the most I have ever seen on at once. It’s been the last two days.

Been noticing the up tick for a while. A lot seem to be viewing user profile.
Noticed the huge increase today. |

Yet only about 50 members are online. Seems odd.

There’s a guy with a YouTube channel called Junkyard Digs. He has over 1 million subscribers and just posted the 2nd video bringing a barn find 68 Bonneville back from the dead. Maybe his subscribers have found this forum and are starting to lurk?

There hasn't been any uptick in new members. Maybe one or two a day, same as always.

I noticed when all those bots are logged on everything takes a while to load. Wish they would go away!

They`re actually not logged on. They are guests, not members. They do clog the server though.

It`s exploding badly. Just checked the bottom of home page.

Every board has it`s lurkers/guests, and they are harmless. But, I believe we have a good bit of data mining going on.
Unless everyone just started hating chevies, mopars, fords, hondas and facebook. |

Can you tech guys create some kind of "guest" filter or limiter? If it's data mining, I'd imagine there are indicators of who/what these entities are.

Agree. Seems a possibly obvious way to identify creepazoids that infest PY.
And again, I'd pay a modest membership fee to fund tech support on this forum if it could address security issues like this when they surface. |

I’ve had 4 comments in the last few days on the pictures I have in my albums. The comments have nothing to do with my pictures. I don’t think I’ve even had someone post a comment to any of my pictures in the 15 years I’ve been a member here.

Currently at 5 am ... 2169 (8 members and 2161 guests)
A couple of links in the right places can lead to a lot of traffic for a while as people peruse the forum to see if they like it, or can find the info they need. One link from a source that has a million subscribers generates a lot of views. Still, that's a lot of guests for 5 am.

2506 Guests
58 Members = 2564 Most Ever = 2749 @ 10-26-2021 I would probably start looking for similar IP #s , similar start times , and similar lengths of stay ... just to get a loose handle on any weird similarities ... and see if some decisions need to be considered . Lengthy stays by numerous clients usually indicates the formation of a bot army. Not always a malicious thing ,,,, but most times it is . |
