GUEST Viewing suspended Temporarily

[Ragnar]

To try and conserve bandwidth until the move is completed, Guest viewing of the Forum will be barred.

Pity, but desperate times, desperate measures.

Hi everybody.
Sorry my unusual first post.
But after I read this stickie I cannot figure out why I can still read the forum without registering, so I finally gave in and sign up to ask this.
Thank you for answer, if you do.

Hi Sepka. That'd be because the move has been completed.

 

[Ragnar]

Guest Viewing suspended again. We were getting 503 Server Busy errors, and I saw we had 10 x as many guests as members, which may --- or may not --- have something to do with it.


As cannot be too often mentioned, most guests are not people therefore there was no rip in the continuum as a million voices screamed.



Unless bots scream.

why do bots want to read the INTP forum?

 

[Ragnar]

Because that's the way search engines find, collate and proffer content. They send billions of tiny mindless poorly paid bots to search through the web, interviewing sullen webpages.


Think of it as market research.

 

[Kidege]

I'd like to know what a bot looks like...

You know, I had never pictured them quite that way, but it works.

Guest Viewing resumed.


Actually, may as well mention here the 'Big-vB Statistic', one of the German Hackmeister Coroner's modifications, is viewable only by members --- who so far couldn't view it since I had forgotten to mention the fact.

Go to: http://www.intpforum.com/statistic.php , and click on any link to see some not very interesting statistics about the forum.

I actually pictured them as mechanical spiders. Sorry, I am months late on this thread!
