Most of it is bot traffic. That's the downside... Still loads our server the same though.
No idea why we get so much of it.

Probably checking for viewable profiles for all the SEO nerds tryna get their backlinks
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they start using the Status plugin to write their backlinks on other people's profiles tbh, now that that might be an option. Five keywords + a link.

Guests aren't allowed to post, thank god. They have to register first.
Once they do register, it's fair game, but we'd be able to see easily once they started doing that. I'm probably going to add a setting to require a minimum of 5 posts before someone can write one or something.

speaking of, another one got through.
I love the purge spammer button
one click removal of all spambot posts + perm ban = nice.

It's such a nice feature. MyBB 1.6 didn't have this. It used to be such a pain to get spambots removed before. Thanks for catching that.
I swear, MyBB drives me up a wall sometimes with the constant breakages every time we run an update (and the non-responsiveness of the theme out of the box), but it truly is very good software in a lot of ways.

Today has been a long, long day. Bout to do it all over again tomorrow. Good night all!
RE: The general chat thread - Guardian - March 27th, 2020
So glad its Friday! Doesn't change as much as usual, but I don't have to do any work for 2 days.
RE: The general chat thread - Darth-Apple - March 28th, 2020
Weekends are absolutely the best. I'm beyond relieved to finally have made it.
Cheers to the weekend guys!

It's going to feel slightly strange as I've been housebound all week but i'll have a beer for you!
RE: The general chat thread - Darth-Apple - March 28th, 2020
And I'll have a shot of fireball. Cheers to our virtual worldwide party.
RE: The general chat thread - SpookyZalost - March 28th, 2020
Unfortunately I need to work tonight, even working from home is kind of a PITA on the weekend lol.
and I'm stuck on night shift until this virus either ends or my management get's their heads out of their asses.
RE: The general chat thread - Darth-Apple - March 28th, 2020
The worst thing about working from home is that you feel like you always have to be working.
Have you guys had more work since this began or has it decreased somewhat?

Absolutely. It makes others work more, and I've logged considerably more hours than I have when I'm at the office. I've gotten calls after I've logged off to go review something and... they know I have my computer so its hard to make an excuse. It also makes others feel they need to be seen doing stuff so they include more than necessary, ask more questions than they would normally, and try to come up with stuff they normally wouldn't. I also feel during this time people are trying to justify them remaining employed, so its stepped up even more.
RE: The general chat thread - Darth-Apple - March 28th, 2020
We've been seeing that at my job. They've been trying hard to keep us calm about the whole situation, but we all know the deal, and we all know the layoffs are coming. I think everyone is feeling that they can ask more of those who still have their jobs.
Hope we're all able to keep ours! Keep us updated on how things go!

Bought a subscription to this website guys. About to install some very awesome premium plugins in the coming weeks. One of them will be a proper IPB-style conversation and private messaging system.
