Forum Traffic

(1/1)

B Hanson:
I've never seen consistent forum traffic like this, besides big releases or other notable events. I'm seeing 200-300 users/day. Is this bots or is there an increase in new user/unregistered activity? If it's new users how do we engage them more effectively? If it's something else, what is it?

jdale:
You can see what people are reading: https://ironcrown.co.uk/ICEforums/index.php?action=who;sort=time;show=all;start=0

It doesn't feel completely organic to me, but without the logs that's all I can say.

Cory Magel:
Everything being viewed right now when I checked were a couple dozen forums opened only 3 to 6 seconds apart.
I'd bet a whole lot of money those are bots.

nash:
Add a link to a honey pot in the header.   Make sure it's not visible to humans.   Ban/slow anyone who touches the honeypot.
