Huh. I've kind of gotten out of the habit of checking the numbers, as I pretty much expect at least a hundred or so. August does seem to be the season, doesn't it? It was three years ago this coming Monday that we hit our high water mark with over 800 simultaneous users, after all. I'll have to duck into the Admin control panel and see how many intercepts my various antispam tools have made in the past couple weeks.
And back from doing so. Interesting, it looks like the bots are mostly reading the board. There have been no more intercepts of spammers than is usual, and it's been at least a month (and maybe more) since the last spammer got far enough to request membership approval. <shrug> Maybe we're getting 300 large language models scraping the board in the hope that we look like genuine humans communicating with each other.
Won't they be surprised? <grin>
