AHHHH! It's the attack of the Yahoo search engine bots!!!!!

At least, that's what I hope they are. Almost all the guests IP addresses start with 68.142.xxx.xxx which is registered to Yahoo, so I'm assuming it's their search engine.

But why they multiplying, I don't know!

[Robert J]

Maybe Google has indexed the Sexiest album covers pages and we're getting referrals from some of those unsavory websites

[Brad]

Isn't the number of guests more or less the same or maybe a little more than as members? 102 or whatever sure seems like a lot.

I never noticed this before, it makes the place look a hell of a lot busier than it really is.

June 19th, now that was a hell of a party... still cleaning up the cigarette butts and beer bottles from that one. Must've been a Juneteenth thang...

Maybe this explains why I get messages like this:

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

The error returned was:

Sorry, the board administrator has enabled search flood control. Please wait at least 20 seconds before trying again.

The site is getting pounded by web bots.

[PHILLYQ]

I visit as a 'guest' when I'm at work.

[catesta]

Well, stop it, you're screwing everything up.

[ghost of miles]

Just noticed 9-10 guests all registering simultaneously when I looked at the "Last Click" field.

[andybleaden]

its them bloody geeks again

[ghost of miles]

They're heeeerrrre.... as of five minutes ago:

116 guests, 7 members, 1 anonymous members

FWIW most of them were viewing the "Ellington Big Band Set Possible in '08?" thread.

Funny, this crap must happen in waves. Over at The Blindman's we've been inundated with a large number of 'guests' recently. We set a record not long ago for most people online in a 15 minute period. Something approaching 300.

[Man with the Golden Arm]

i bet it's folk like me who need to log in now post board reconfiguration. i know it's me and my browser settings or some such that need attention but if i'm just looking i am merely a guest.

Well I'm speaking now as a former 'guest.' I was a member of the old BNBB before that blew up and then I stumbled onto this site and read it for a couple of years...as a 'guest.' But I decided that the water's fine, I don't mind the hazing rituals and I am wearing britches. So there you are

I think that's correct. I never needed to log in before. Now I have to sometimes (and sometimes not - dunno why that is) but never realise it until I want to post something, unless I'm looking at the sexiest album sleeves thread

If this is happening to everyone, then I guess that might account for it.

The only time that I've had to re-log in is when the board went down[because I never log out].

Btw, if you leave this site without logging out, do others see you as an active/present member at the bottom of the Forum Home page? [inquiring minds need to know.]
