Our record of 1006 concurrent users from 2005 was shattered by bots scraping for that sweet AI juice, sadly. The number of human guests is likely <100 
It looks like several forums are having the same problem these days (e.g. RPG Codex had to go on Cloudflare because of the insane artificial traffic)

That and data scrapers. As the years go on, more and more exist trying to gather search, people, and so on results to aggregate to sell or use.

Could be either, or a mix of both.
My tiny 'private' website (open to public but not listed or advertised) I use for little things I want to play with webcode for, and FTP/storage for friends gets a 300-400 scapers/crawlers a day hitting it. It got so bad I had to make any subdomain/subfolder (something.website.com or website.com/something) you are not IP listed for takes you back to the main page telling you the 'contents have moved'.

Oops, I should have phrased that as: "The many guests"
Sorry!

Even now 7664 guests. Must be some very light scripts because these many users would crash the site.

This is like, the last forum on the internet not using any of the templates other palces do and that's great |
I don't specifically know how these AI agents operate, but possibly they could be programmed in such a way to not put too much strain on a specific site, because when it crashed they get nothing? So maybe they can "determine" the sites load and adjust to scrape slower.
Also yeah, if this small forum here is hit so hard, just imagine what larger sites or infrastructures are going through. I hope you got all your data stored tight, because if it's just randomly accessible, it will not definitely be found, even if Google didn't get it in the past.

Yeah, those stupids bots are really making this forum slow now... I get an error message while loading a new page and then the page still pops up 3 seconds later.

Yep it's indeed far from optimal at the moment. For what it's worth, Mrt is aware of the ongoing Cylon invasion
