Did I miss something yesterday?
Re: Did I miss something yesterday?
Pete P posted this thread on the 10th, I'm guessing it triggered an alarm somewhere in Mr Langdell's lawyers' offices...

Re: Did I miss something yesterday?
I've 'bigged up' (is that still a thing? ) this place a few times over on /r/zxspectrum, but none correlate to the recent spikes. Odd stuff and definitely interested to know what has driven it.. But we all know it'll ultimately be something really mundane!

Some organizations "patrol" the web harvesting for information, and some of them use people instead of robots. So you can get a visitor peak.

Sometimes it's really scary when I read:

Then I feel like I'm alone here with those weird bots!

We hit another high on Monday. 393! Might have to start asking for small donations for a bigger server at this rate!

Just realized that Wikipedia include the corresponding SC link of many games in his 'external links' entry section. For example, in Knight Lore. Sometimes include a Mobygames or KLOV link too.
Maybe that's another reason of the number of visitors.
And of course it's also a reason to see this site works! Congrats!

I bet it's some 'blue skies' computer conference somewhere, that happens to be called "Spectrum computing". All the delegates are googling it and coming here hoping to find out where the conference centre is.DouglasReynholm wrote: ↑Thu Nov 14, 2019 10:53 pm ...definitely interested to know what has driven it..

When the delegates came across the memes thread they inmediately left the conference and any technologic way of life and started a new life as hippies living in the country, smelling daisies and producing cheese from goat milk.
Re: Did I miss something yesterday?
All I can tell you is that there appear to have been 9,000 clicks in the last week from the USA. The logs are say click from video. Can't tell anymore.

Re: Did I miss something yesterday?
Yes, I posted that over on b3ta. It even hit the front-page! Mind you, I only noticed an increase of about 80 in the thread's view count a little while after. I doubt it's got that much to do with the volume of traffic (I might be wrong though).Joefish wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 5:20 pm Found this:

And the most surprising thing is the time, 08:36 (GMT+1, I suppose)
Re: Did I miss something yesterday?
If it was 07:36 GMT I would've probably still been asleep...
