Maybe I've just looked at the exact wrong/correct times, but I've only seen this number of guests continue to grow. They linger on threads and never seem to move off. This includes dead hours.



I may just be paranoid but this seems unnatural to me and looks like something could be breaking.

It could be bots, or just a glitch in the counter.

Knowing modern Internet, it's most likely the former.

But why so many all of a sudden? This isn't exactly the most active forum out there anymore.

I've been seeing this on the sites/forums that I run (some that are even more dead than this place), it's mostly all AI related bots. Whether it's crawlers indexing pages, or someone asks ChatGPT how to write in CON and it spawns 1 billion AI agents all searching the forum simultaneously.
