    Wish I'd get coverage like that from Yahoo. I've had similar numbers with Google in the past. Always a good sign in my book.

    Francisco,

    It may well be the case that that was just one Yahoo bot. Remember that VB's "Who's online feature" records who is online for the last 10 minutes (maybe more).

    So, that bot may have crawled lots of sections of the forum, therefore registering as 87.

    You're talking about the Inktomi bot? We had that sucker leave a trail of 160 guests the day we migrated over to vB. I don't think it happens very often, but it's not unheard of at all.

    When I upgraded my Invision board, we got nailed with almost 350 `guests` almost immediately. This happened for the first few days almost continuously, but after that the visits tapered off. We get those kind of visits about once every three months now.
