Recently we've been getting a phenominal amount of 'guests' stalking the fourm.  Over the last month we've had over 500,000 page views, that's an average of 16,400 views per day. Some of those will be "web crawlers", that's search engines like Google scanning the site but it wouldn't be anywhere near that number so someone or something is very interested in our legendary banter or maybe they’re simply after the beers we’ve hidden in the moderators cupboard! I no longer have Google Analytics so can't drill down to more detail, that leaves just speculation on our part. So do your best, the best rumour or conspiracy theory wins a virtual chocolate fish. (It's a Kiwi thing)  |

My best guess would be s*itheads repeatedly logging on to see what genuine banter and intelligent conversation looks like? My only reason for questioning this is that I genuinely think some of them would struggle to master a keyboard.
OTIB is a bunch of petulant children who can dish it out but can't take it back, and who go running crying to the moderator when they and their sh*tty little club are put in their place.

Noticed a few weeks back that 74 people were viewing the site but only two were actual members and I was one of them. We do seem to have a fair amount of casual viewers.

You could be right, but I think a more plausible explanation is that Skynet is watching us, from far in the future. They know that if they can send a Terminator back to eradicate Bristol Rovers Football Club, the rest of human society will collapse as well. Pretty sure that`s what`s going on. |

It could well be Radio Bristol technicians looking for hints on how to stop their cables being kicked out of their slots by people walking past them at dodgy grounds like Burton

Do you think any of them are owners amongst the slow traffic but many pedestrian people watchers?
I'm glad we have more than one forum.
Not all clubs do.
Happy blend and different vibes.
Taiwan's experience isn't a one off, but it does go to show we are global and a small but important part of fans' ability to express themselves, even though we are a remarkably miniscule % of the fanbase.

I found the excuses offered simply breathtaking and rather weak and disappointing. There were moments where some broadcasters felt they were far too important to be sitting in the somewhat cramped facilities of the Mem, usually those were covering "big" clubs who had fallen on hard times....

The Chocolate Fish Conspiracy: New Zealand’s Secret Forum Infiltration Plot
In the shadowy depths of the internet, Proboards forums are being flooded with unregistered user page views. But this isn't the result of mere search engine crawlers or spam bots. No, this phenomenon is part of a larger, covert operation led by none other than... New Zealand.
You see, the real agenda begins with a seemingly innocent treat: the humble chocolate fish. For years, this sweet, marshmallow-filled delicacy has been used as a tool of psychological conditioning. Kiwis (the people of New Zealand, not the bird) have secretly developed advanced mind-control technology, hidden within the unassuming chocolate fish. They have perfected a formula that allows them to subtly influence consumers who eat them, bending them to their will.
But the real conspiracy lies in what happens after you eat the chocolate fish.
Those who fall under its influence become unwitting digital agents, contributing to New Zealand's plan to dominate global online forums. Once you've consumed the fish, you develop an irresistible compulsion to visit Proboards forums over and over again—anonymously. Your brain, now subtly reprogrammed, sends you into a browsing frenzy without registering an account, inflating page views across the internet. All this data is harvested by New Zealand's secret intelligence services, feeding their global surveillance program known as Project Aotearoa.
The reason behind this infiltration? To distract the world while New Zealand prepares to launch its ultimate weapon: the first-ever chocolate fish in space, carrying nanobots programmed to terraform Mars into a new kiwi paradise. But before they can launch, they need to divert attention, inflating forum analytics so drastically that no one will notice their space-based ambitions.
What can you do? Stay vigilant! And maybe, just maybe, think twice before indulging in another chocolate fish. It’s not just a treat—it’s part of a grand plan to turn the world into a New Zealand-run web of anonymous forum lurkers!
End of theory... or is it? 🧐🍫🐟

I tend to log on my laptop in the morning, open a few websites I follow, including this one, but don't log in to start with.
So basically acting as a guest unless I want to post something.
Hope this explains why I might be seen to scrimp on the 'likes'! :-)
Often I'll read a post, and like it, but not actually 'like' it, because I'm not logged in, then I forget about it and lose where it was when I do log in!
