Unofficial Halesowen Town FC Forum

Just noticed that the most forum users on here at any one time was 1399 on May 14th, 2024, 9:18 pm. Wondered what in particular was happening then, so checked all the topics and it would appear absolutely nothing. Poll?

More likely to be a change in the way the forum software works, or the Google analytics, or something like that, rather than our witterings having "gone virus".
According to what Westy told me, anyway.

There are hundreds of web crawlers out there (Google, AI engines, etc) that are always on the site. Could well have been one of those went wrong and was hitting the site all at the same time

That, or something controversial about the manager was posted

There's plenty of bots on here........

Web crawlers, so that's spiders then.
My word, the things I know absolutely nothing about.....
Cheers.
