An SF milestone.

[Howell]

Today at around 5:00 we apparently broke our previous record for most users on line=28. I don't know what the previous record was.

 

[Handruin]

I think it was 27. 8)

 

[ddrueding]

cool, I was one of them

Do my 3 tabs of SF count as three sessions? I recently added the "Tech Support" to my startup group...

 

[ddrueding]

I think it was 27. 8)

Yes, set a few minutes before....and before that....26!

 

[Handruin]

Sometimes they cause multiple sessions. The major reason we hit these mass users is from google. Now that they index the site, they open TONS of sessions. I've traced them back, so I know most are from google.

 

[Tea]

cool, I was one of them

And I was 26 of them. Who else was on line?

 

[Buck]

We missed that one, and the one before it.

 

[jtr1962]

We broke that record yesterday-it's 43 now, and 42 right now while I'm typing this post. I'm one post away from a record of sorts myself.

 

[The JoJo]

Ah, come on jtr, one more post. You can do it!

 

[sechs]

43? In a row?

 

[Mercutio]

Wasn't it: "37!" "In a row?"

 

[ddrueding]

Wasn't it: "37!" "In a row?"

Yes. 37 Dicks

 

[ddrueding]

Funny, that belongs in 2 other threads as well....quotes and movies...

 

[LunarMist]

Does the number represent only the people who are logged in?

 

[Mercutio]

There were five registered members on when it happened. Myself (I hide) and four others.

Ya, I was wondering why you hide?

 

[Mercutio]

I feel more comfortable that way.

 

[Handruin]

The surge may have been from an SR reference. Normally we have about 300-400 visit a day according to the logs. Today we had 2067 visit which is not normal even for google. I looked back a few months and 600 visits were the next closest back in January.

Doug, out of curiousity, can this forum be able to handle the traffic if it got slashdotted?:mrgrn:

Cheers,
Edward

 

[Handruin]

More than likely not. I've read of sites with dedicated servers that get crushed.

Only one way to find out!

 

[jtr1962]

Happy now? 8) I'm reaching the 1K mark on SR almost simultaneously-not that I planned it that way or anything. I noticed my post counts were close, and decided to hit submit at the same time on both sites for my 1000th post.

The surge may have been from an SR reference.

Hmmmm......... But the "surge" seems to be *constant*.

I'd suspect an attack of web-bot spiders, spinning webs from metadata collected. They're stealing our souls! :errr:

 

[Handruin]

Googlebot was here yesterday doing its thing. We've also been getting a lot of porn site members who sign up and I continue to delete.

 

[sechs]

Porn site members?

 

[Mercutio]

Well, that'd be me, but my account's still here so...

 

[Handruin]

Porn site members?

You don't see them now because I ban them and delete them the very same day. Accounts that usually say a_gay, or some variation on that. In their profile are loads of porn site related links for teen sex and gay porn. These people haven't posted anything, but I'm treating them as spam.

 

[sechs]

Is there some advantage to porners signing up here (or anywhere)?

 

[Handruin]

Not that I know of, but it could be there way of spreading a link to their site. But is there any advantage to sending spam by e-mail? Most spam these days is unreadable and filled with garabage text...at least the crap I get is sent this way.

 

[e_dawg]

Well, they may be using Merc's trail of breadcrumbs from SF to their site, thinking that they get a lot of traffic from SF patrons

 

[Computer Generated Baby]

24 hours ago, there was basically a constant 30 (+/- 5) "Guests" logged in, now it's down to around 6.

So, was that like... ummm... 25 ~ 30 "weirdos" logged in for hours? :-?

In another one of those weird coincidences, I've been posting about my pr0n-browsing habits on /. lately. It is one of my hobbies.

Suffice to say, I wrote scripts to do all my heavy downloading for me. Nothing to track around.

 

[Mercutio]

Everyone say hi to our latest user "!!!porn-pushy".

With interests like his you can bet he'll be livening up the conversations around here! (note: don't look if you're easily offended. I'm just pointing out that Handy provides a valuable service in killing those accounts)

 

[The JoJo]

Lol!

Doug! We need you, again

 

[Handruin]

Bye bye pushy.

Bannned you piece of $hit

:elephant:

 

[sechs]

Damn you. I was hoping to be offended.

 

[Handruin]

If you want to be offended now sechs, take a look at page 7 of the member's list. Merc was a busy man promoting us today. :wink:

Time to break out the banning stick again... :mrgrn:

 

[mubs]

Unholy shit! Ban 'em, Ban 'em, Ban 'em!

 

[Corvair]

...Time to break out the banning stick again... :mrgrn:

Page 7 must be that new Membership Worm making the rounds on the Internet.

 

[Handruin]

Any references to this membership worm Corvair? I'll certainly search google, but if you know a link, I'd greatly appreciate it.
