Some of you might be interested in this:
Page views by people logged in is the red line. The other line is all the other page views
There's always a lot more people reading than bothering to create an account etc. However this is extreme. The red line is meaningless because it so much smaller
We had huge traffic during the RWC, then dropped back to the regular December numbers. Sometime in January we suddenly got 20million more page views a month.
On May 8th we got another load of bot traffic that's what killed the CPU
A few tweaks and it's dropped to a level the CPUs can handle. Still need to do a few things to get it back to normal though

Big thanks to those that are still on Patreon, much appreciated.
Just updated my contribution to two coffees/month. Come on Ferners, dip in and support. Keep ads away
Likewise. $9/month is great value to be able to wind up the Shield Snorters once in a while.

This place has more sporting analysis than three main stream media. It shouldn't be like that but it is

Sadly for you lot there's no one left here to wind up aside from me and I find the moral high ground claiming to be as hilarious as you find the winding up.
I'm happy to make non Patreon donation, but weary of Patreon as I signed up originally and money left my account but didn't go to the Fern, then when I queried Patreon they claimed it was because I was Oz registered but on NZ card and took me ages to refund my money. @Kirwan Does the Paypal link require a paypal account? If it does can I direct transfer to your bank?
Maybe I'll tie my donation to the removal of the "Shield Snorters" on behalf of my fellow Bay peeps.

Be interesting to see the Y axis numbers.

@Duluth thanks for sharing, and nice work figuring out and fixing the issue. It's a fast changing landscape at the moment.

I'll tentatively say it's fixed
Permission changes have gotten rid of most of the bots. The guest page views are now <5% of what they were a couple of days ago. I turned other processes back on (like embedding) earlier today and we seem to be fine
There's still some steps we can take to make the place more resilient. However those can wait a couple of weeks when hopefully I have more spare time

It's harder for bots to see Off Topic threads now. Also if you are not logged in the Politics sub forum is invisible
So what were the bots looking at? Three threads mostly: Hot chicks, movie reviews & US politics
At least one of those should be deleted IMO. Plenty of places to find dirty pics on the internet.

is it me or the bots back again?
