We're drowning in lurkers

[Zundfolge]

Noticed that the site has been real slow today so I scrolled down on the main page and saw...

There are currently 4181 users online. 28 members and 4153 guests
Most users ever online was 9,183, Today at 17:51.

That's a lot of guests ... so Mods, any idea what's pulling that much traffic here today?


ETA Number of guests has jumped considerably in the last few minutes:

There are currently 7550 users online. 54 members and 7496 guests

Site has been sluggish for me today. Thought it was either my ISP or Tapatalk app.

Those site numbers seem skewed, probably some sort of bot attack.

It's the .gov keeping a watchful eye over us. You know, to keep us safe.

Yeah, my guess is a real weak sauce DDOS attempt by some script kiddie with a real lame bot-net.

Here too, that does seem like a lot. I'd vote some sort of attack as well.

Slow for me too. No complaints though... Love having this place.

Something definitely isn't right. There are more people online currently than there were after the theater shooting.
