Guests???

[The Thorn]

Been reading Plop for many years.  Other than when the drug scandal hit a few years ago there was never more than a two to three hundred "guests" at a time.  I've been noticing over the past four to six months or more that there are over 350 "guests" every single hour of the day.  Right now at 4AM it shows 419 guests and only 3 members logged in.  I went down the entire first page threads and there are only 8 guests viewing them in total.

Obviously there are not 400 plus guests here.  What gives?

I login and click stay logged in but it keeps logging me out. Maybe there is a glitch

350, 400 guests? Come on. You know better.

It's a combination of bots/algorithm from certain search engines. They got away after a while. Been that way for over a decade, off and on. No hidden agenda

Not going to lie.  I was suspect of that many viewing at one time.  Seemed like too many nosey horsemen at once.

AI scrapers training their bots on text like this.

Just like to make a point here.
I only got to post 28 times before the IDIOT SHIT owner banded me.
But he has for most Guests and posts in one day.
86,000. I'M sure. I've been around forever. But that NUT can LIE more than TRUMP. I thinks he meant 86.
But that be PACE,with his 8 lunatics.

6:15am and there are 521 guests viewing. Have to be bots. Granted I recently joined from the guest list so who knows the real number.
