No biggie, just curious.
Anyway, my guess is that a search engine or spammer is slurping the site -- possibly for AI training.....

apptest wrotewow, thats pretty insane. Soon nobody will know who is real who is fake. thats kinda of scaryIt’s a massive influx of bots. They are so good now they pretend to be people and even complain when they can’t get full site access 🤦
GOLFFRR wroteYes its a new world and reality. Sometimes they incredibly PM me directly to complainwow, thats pretty insane. Soon nobody will know who is real who is fake. thats kinda of scary
vreihen16 wroteMine went up 100 since I posted. On the morning of Feb 16th, I was at 217,472. I am now at 235,106. Almost 18,000 in 10 days.There were 34 views of my profile page since posting the above screen shot less than an hour ago.....
Esteban wroteThey use your profile pages as the launching pad to do their ai nasty work via links to posts you’ve made; since their complaint emails/PMs go nowhere. Of course the content they are getting may not be the real site content 😂. I leave that little headache for them to figure out 😀That must explain why I have over 500,000 hits to my profile page.
apptest wroteAre you running a honeypot full of fake Honda content to feed the AI/bots?Of course the content they are getting may not be the real site content 😂. I leave that little headache for them to figure out 😀
FWIW, my count has now gone up by 202 since the above screen capture (200 unaccounted page views, plus my two to check the count).
Is there a way that you can block viewing the user profile pages for unauthenticated users? Judging by the last 10 visitors on mine, these views appear to be coming from unauthenticated users.....
vreihen16 wroteYes there are easy ways to block them but it increases my headache of having to read the AI bot themselves complaining about how they are blocked. Tbh, I’m putting that effort into moving the new beta site forward as it does do a much better job of seamlessly dealing with the botsAre you running a honeypot full of fake Honda content to feed the AI/bots?

(Shameless plug to promote use of the new site so I can get more beta feedback 😂)
GOLFFRR wroteIt's not soon, it's now.wow, thats pretty insane. Soon nobody will know who is real who is fake. thats kinda of scary
vreihen16 wroteI got 475,650 visits at my profile page (!)FWIW, my profile page is now up to 960 views since yesterday. Maybe I should sell ad space?????
cmyx6go wroteI've also been receiving almost daily notifications that threads that I created long ago are suddenly popular and being awarded extra reputation points. AI must be slurping the site.....Bots are going crazy. My views went up by over 13,000 from yesterday morning.
