Large Number of Views

#1 Post by Eris »

It's not a problem, I don't think, but some threads seem to have a very, very, large number of views in relation to the number of posts.

Is that "lurkers" reading along in forums, just anxious players doing multiple checks, or a bug of some kind?

In the last few months there have been a large number of bots going around scraping phpbb forums like this one. One side effect is that you get a distorted number of views. You can see there are a very large number of 'guests' sometimes.

Believe me, Ron and I are extremely busy filtering out spam from bots. It has been crazy.
