Are these sudden spikes or gradual increases? Or can you not tell?

Can the forum not identify bots? IIRC the forum I used to be a mod on gave a count of people on-line but included in that was a bot count (they used phpBB). I think a bot should identify itself as such.

Nope, we can't. It just says "Members" and "Guests" and "Staff"(which would be an admin)

I'm sure the Velma/lesbian debate and j3h posting the link to that thread on Michael Borkowski's and Tony Cervone's twitter pages had a lot to do with the spike in people coming to the site. I can't imagine that many bots would come to the forum in a day.

I think the new episodes airing is also responsible for some people with only a couple of posts to post some more. I've noticed atleast one person.

To confirm it's bot activity, 3 members named "ross" (and then a number) have joined today.

Hmm.. That's strange. I didn't know bots could/would sign up.

Heh, I have to admit I am attempting to post more due to new episodes. I lurk way too much. Sad considering I came here 2 years or so ago.

I didn't think bots could sign up either.
