I am curious. What happened on that date and time, and break the "most people online" records?

Probably bots scanning the site?

Hi tsiozos,

That will be approx. 300 bots. (Supposed there was up to 100 real users)
And the next day around the same time the record broke again. This time 541, there was ~400 bots! Impossible.

Best regards,

Can't tell without access to the log files. Too few for a DDOS attack though.

At another forum, we had large problems with AI bots. Instead of collecting data in their own database, AI bots tend to evaluate the data just in the moment of a user question. We need to block most of them in our form (not here).

Users online and similar measures got nonsense.

Ah, the old me thought 541 users was too many. See where we are now xD

This is absolutely true. AI crawlers take too much server resources and drag the website services altogether.

For instance there were so much AI bots that I had to wait for 30-60 seconds to load a page in Planète Casio Git server earlier this year.

Corporate greed at its finest >_>
