It's a mystery, to be sure Gis. This would qualify as a post on things you don't understand ;D
P.S. if I haven't mentioned before, I love your It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown avatar. That is such a cute movie

we don't have the DVDs but we do have the Great Pumpkin and Charlie Brown Christmas on VHS and we break them out and watch them a couple times each during the holidays.
as for the guest invasion. It's an unusually large amount of activity and is ok by me until they start complaining or criticizing. Then I think they need to register and be a part of the community.

guests can be very annoying sometimes. I find that a lot of them are opinionated and rude. I don't understand why someone would want to remain a guest, lurking about, when they can join the site for free. ::)

Programs, not people.. they're just programs designed to watch this forum.. usually, advertisers use them to try to find out how to appeal to people.

I wasn't sure what a "bot" was either, so here's the definition I got on Wikipedia:
"A software program that imitates the behavior of a human, as by querying search engines or participating in chatroom or IRC discussions."

Philip has noticed this, as mentioned on the Surveillance Thread. I wonder if it's a lot of webcrawlers or something like that.. because it doesn't seem likely that 30 or 40 actual human beings would be viewing this site in guest mode at the exact same time, all in increments of no more than two seconds.

Well, I've been a member for over 12 years, and there have been times when there's been a multitude of guests in the early years; that's only because webcrawlers were able to access it easily and it would create a lot of traffic on the server. Chucky eventually did something about it.

Yes. I think it's been that way for nearly three years now. The last time guest posting was enabled, it was too easy for spam to get through; there were like 30 or 40 new threads, all with spammage in them.
Yeah, often times if you see a post that shows up as "Guest", it's most likely from someone who deleted their account (or got banned). Any such posts from late 2013 or later are all from former members.

Apparently there was another big boom of Guests online earlier today, according to the stat panel. There were 463 "people" accessing the site at one point (I bet at least 460 of them were Guests!).
OMG!!!
Today the guests are still hanging on, 43 at the moment, highest for today being 64.

Sometimes the Guests don't do anything bad...but sometimes there are a handful that turn into bots...and I think I spotted one on here just now. (You'll probably see him in the near future. In fact, I think it's the latest one that signed up: "DennisTot". There have been other monikers of that nature, consisting of a common firstname followed by three letters.)

I have a feeling that "DennisTot" will be going the way of the doodoo. There are some indicators that make me think "he" is either a bot or a spammer. When you see names followed by a couple of numbers, those are usually bogus. What I do is plug in their IP to a couple of websites. They usually indicate if there had been complains or what level of risk they are (high, medium, or low). If there had been complains or if the risk is medium or high, they are gone. There are some that I am really not too sure about (like "DennisTot") so I leave them. I may zap them sometime in the future. These are only accounts that do not have any posts. I do know there are a couple of accounts who haven't posted at all but they do play in the arcade all the time. I still have about 200 more to go through.

Yeah, I figured that searching their IP's would be a useful tool. For a number of years I have been helping to fix Misherad Lyric entries on Amiright, and periodically the correction tool gets abused. There'll be a bunch of nonsensical stuff, accompanied by the name of the submitter, and the IP. And I've used various sites to look up IP's...and in recent months there've been some potentially spamalicious ones. There hasn't been any of that since April, though.

All I know is that the "Print" button at the top (and bottom) of each thread allows one to view the thread as a single webpage. And that's supposed to be a printer-friendly version. But if a thread has so many replies, why would anyone want to actually go through with printing it? That would waste plenty of paper (and toner).
And how is it that Guests are randomly doing these things? Are they actually bots? Their behaviour has gotten kinda wacky on here in recent years. ::)

Well they've been registering accounts on here at an alarming rate, and there's nothing here to even stop them. It's outta hand.
Whatever the deal is with them "printing" things, I agree it's very strange. It just seems kinda random in a sense.

As I have been weeding out bogus accounts, I have learned something-which is kind of a strange glitch. Many times I will go to "Who's Online" where I can see everyone's IP. I click on the IP of guests to see if there is a bogus account (which doesn't always show up on the Member's List) and I am able to get rid of many bogus accounts this way. But as I do that, I can also see when board members are lurking. But, what is really strange is when the IP of a member who is online but will show up as a guest. ??? I guess it is a delay in reading who is online. There have been a couple of times where my own IP came up as a guest.
This doesn't always happen so there may indeed be 17 guests but there could also have been a few board members that had a delayed response from the system.

Yes, there could indeed be that many. However, sometimes when I click the Who's Online list, sometimes it shows a whole bunch of "Guests" doing the same thing within a few seconds of each other. Makes me wonder if those are bots mutating. Sometimes I notice them viewing threads that were recently posted in. Sometimes they even randomly view years-old threads that haven't been updated in a long while.

What bothers me are the ones that say "Registering for an account" and they don't appear on the Members List and I have to wait until I can find them to remove them (assuming they are bogus). I always surprised when I find a new account that is NOT bogus. (Yes, that does happen from time to time. :D ;D ;D )

That may have happened to me last night. Severe thunderstorms rolled in suddenly and made me shut down the computer to protect it (that happens at times). I decided to look at a couple more threads so I pulled the site up on my tablet. I had apparently logged out on my tablet, and was too lazy to log in. So it would've showed me as "guest" even though my IP might have been my regular one...

Did it say that your were still logged in on your tablet? I do know there is a delay with that. Several times when Carlos has logged off, it will still say that he is on for a few more minutes.
If it didn't say that you were logged on, that happens when people are "lurking" (which I have caught a few people doing). But, what I'm talking about is when the "Who's Online" says that "Member X" is online but then one of the "guest" also has the same IP as "Member X." Very strange.

I'm quite sure I was not logged in on my tablet yesterday - the site said "welcome, guest". Is it possible I was still logged in on the hibernated computer? That, I don't know.

There's been an awful lotta those lately; it does get to be a pain when they persist. On the plus side, however, some of them are caught viewing old threads that haven't been posted on in ages (this I know from reading the Who's Online list)...and sometimes reviving one of those old threads can bring back memories or allow some of our newer users to post in a thread they hadn't seen before.

On the plus side, however, some of them are caught viewing old threads that haven't been posted on in ages (this I know from reading the Who's Online list)...and sometimes reviving one of those old threads can bring back memories or allow some of our newer users to post in a thread they hadn't seen before.
That is how it has been with me, memories and old threads.

I have been wondering, would making this board members only for a short while make the bots go away?

This site has been members only since late 2013, I believe. Guest posting was disabled for good back then (because of too much spam posting by Guests; it got way outta control).

Yeah, make all the subforums that way. Some sites probably do that sorta thing.
But I'm not sure if that'd deter the bogus registrants.

Yes, I realised that after I made the post. Some of them do seem to profusely view specific threads.

It may be only ONE but there is a glitch in the system that will read a user more than once. I have caught my "evil twin" on-line a few times sometimes under my name and sometimes as a guest.

Aha.. I have just learnt something new today! O0
So, anytime I see an instance of two or more Guests doing the exact same thing just a few seconds apart, it’s probably that kind of glitch. I don’t think I’ve seen it apply to registered users, though. Still, it’s interesting in a sense.
