Bing Bot Crawling Spiders & Co.
Currently on average, and over the last 7 years or so, we have less than a dozen humans looking in to excelfox. But, there are other "things", "watching us", showing up as some of the views ( users on line )

More than a hundred "things" on line at any time means that likely most are these bots, spiders, crawlers. A few dozen or so of thse "Bot" things, I don't know exactly, have been doing their deeds for many years. It has not usually had any obvious bad effects on forum performance or accessibility. Somewhere in the thousands is perhaps when your might get concerned.
Depending on Software, Host and other things of that nature, ( that I do not understand yet ) , forums and internet sites seem to get hurt at between thousands and tens of thousands. About 80000 is our pain limit, after that we "buckle under the weight"
History of the bots, spiders, crawlers at excelfox, and the history of them getting over busy at excelfox
This is a bit patchy, as time went on it was looked at a bit more. But it has rarely been monitored full time , so things may have been missed
( This thread and some associated ones ( https://www.excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/3007
https://www.excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/3008 ) , were started as we first got major problems as a result of this high viewing Bot Phenomena.)
The next posts are mostly from the time before I was around and monitoring , and is mostly got from internet research, in particular using web archive org
Posts from about post #6, take it from the time I was beginning to notice actual things going on et excelfox com, mostly from about the time I was a "Moderator" and approximately from when the idea of me buying excelfox com was beginning to be discussed. Here and there are a few comments or rough notes to help me personally orientate on a few things. So for anyone else, it is probably best to just try and glean some general overall info and not necessarily look at this Thread as a precise concise account of the situation
