I've no idea if it's related to the site speed issue, but I've noticed there's been a LARGE number of lurkers lately.
According to the data at the bottom of the home page, at any given time, there's 70 or more.
It might be adding to the issues w/speed of response, or load, or it could be that they're bogus.
If there were really 70 or more lurkers out there, you'd think they'd at least join up and post.

Scott would know the average lurker count. I can't imagine that 70 is a real number, even half that would be a lot.

Interesting. 60 lurkers right now! Either the numbers are wrong or someone is up to no good!

Looks like we need an exterminator. I checked on the who's online link (http://www.donzi.net/forums/online.php), and found these instances (dropped it all into Excel to do an accurate count).

There's lots out there on it, but short version is that Donzi.net has been invaded by the Chinese. :embarasse

I wonder how long this has been going on, and if it can be linked to the recent performance problems?

I think the ones is red are search engine bots, not lurkers. Should be harmless.
