Seike Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Tell me the story of how these forums reached their max online user count of 1614 online at once. Link to comment
Beric Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 We had a massive bot wave. A glorious story we'll tell our grandchildren. Link to comment
Seike Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 What were they after? Gold? Cattle? Dank memes? What happened next? Link to comment

I imagine if they had we'd have gotten a shocking 1000+ posts with phishing links. We get a few of those that slip in every now and then. Link to comment
Zatevon Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I was wondering the exact same thing today. Thanks for asking the question @Seike. If that was a bot attack, why are we keeping that number? We not remove that data? Link to comment

I suppose we just never thought about it! I've reset it. We'll almost certainly see another (likely much smaller) bot wave throwing it out of whack within a few months, but for now... Link to comment
Kris_Kronkle Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Bots boosting our web traffic for free? Man some people pay money for this shit lol Link to comment
Zatevon Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 An interesting part of Gladz history, for sure. Link to comment
Seike Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 I don't want to alarm anyone, but right now we are currently setting the all time record for most users online! 37! Truly something to tell the grandkids about. Link to comment
Beric Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 We're going to need an excuse to send out a mass PM and cheese those numbers back up. Link to comment

I'm just weird this way, but bot waves skewing forum statistics always make me smile. Link to comment
