There are still 5 other busy tractor forums on the web right now. I'm on them all too. So, TBN is just 1/5th of my time spent. And if the 1/5th is more down than up, I spend more time elsewhere.We're going to need to start up a separate TBN's Anonymous site on a separate server for those times when the TBN site is broken. Don't want anyone going off the deep end due to lack of access . . .

Too many bots.Too many visitors?
Wow! I'd love to hear more about this, if you can be persuaded.Too many bots.
Well, if a bot it scraping the pages for AI or search engine indexing, it's fast. That's the issue compared to regular people. Even if we had twice as many humans online at once, we wouldn't be equaling how fast they will just spider through all the site. The server has to give the bots the pages exactly the same as a regular user. But there are only so many lanes and if bots keep requesting more and more, eventually the majority of lanes are full and real people wind up having to wait because the bots have filled up every lane AND backed up every lane.Wow! I'd love to hear more about this, if you can be persuaded.
How do bots impact TBN?
