But seriously, this has been going on for a while. Are they search bots, or are we just that popular?

It's Cyber Nations - we're big time now! LOL

I bet a lot of it has to do with bots and guests. Is it not from the past 24 hours? If it was at that one time - wow!
When was that taken?

They're creepers. They breed like rats. The numbers are only going to get bigger.

That was just this afternoon. I've noticed that every day for the past two weeks or so the guest count just keeps on climbing. It's the weirdest thing.

We are getting a huge ammount of traffic from BF3 related terms. Search for BF3 and Battlefield 3 and related things (like "Battlefield 3 release") and you will find our page mostly at the top. Also there has been an influx through some BF2 and BF2142 terms, for some reason, but not as large as the BF3 stuff.

Hmm, I guess the referrer list matches up with that, Simon.

[Edit by simon: removed the list, it is staff only ]

You get counted as a guest when you come to the forums. We got tons of lurkers on the forums. If you login or register you can be in some cases also counted as a guest while being logged in until that session times out.

Guests also come from RSS subscriptions, be that a site that shows it (only one guest per site) or a personal RSS subscription. Beyond that most of these guests read the news on one or multiple sites and then come to the forums, looking around.

And the last part is people searching with google. The forum gets found through a lot of different things, mostly problems with the games we cover.

And I guess after reading all our shit in this forum they leave very quickly! I've tried to bring some sort of class to this forum but people like DV and KnifeHeavy just ruin it for everyone. I'll continue to try and set the example.......anyone seen Flymo's Mom lately?
