I know I was under a lot of strain, I had a lot of photos to process.

lol thanks for your expertise, Peter, but you're completely wrong.

I do, in fact, know how to tell the difference - I've been doing this for a while now.

Funny the threads you choose to reply to..

For the uninitiated, Peter is trolling..
Trolling:
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

Go back to what date? I know exactly what happened on that day. We had 181 new members on that single day alone.

Peter (Pedro/Exfso) has no interest in this forum.. if you knew who he was you'd know that too. That's why I labelled him.

And that would not mean Google was working overtime with people looking for astro info ?? so bots may have been a wee bit busy hmm?..

looks like buiscut boy has friends

iceman (Mike) · #13 20-04-2008, 09:28 AM

There's always google bots browsing this forum - google generated almost 2gig in bandwidth last month. That's not in question.

Thanks for yours and Peter's considered opinions, but I don't need you to tell me about search engine bots.

Brilliant reply not, and who the hell is biscuit boy? sounds like you have been partaking of your own product.

iceman (Mike) · #16 20-04-2008, 12:34 PM

lol it's just one definition of trolling I found, Pete. I'm sure you can do a search yourself and find the one that fits you.

iceman (Mike) · #17 20-04-2008, 01:05 PM

More trolling again?

I was simply pointing out that your statement was not fact at all, not even close. But thanks for logging in and posting again. You're welcome to go back to your anonymity now.

Now that's a factual statement - best I've read in a while.

iceman (Mike) · #18 21-04-2008, 05:29 AM

Of course our friend Peter didn't take too kindly for being shown "the facts" and so he took his "bad mouthing" which he is so known for back to his usual home (when he's not browsing anonymously here as Pedro/exfso) to gather some support because he didn't get it here.

Peter,
Please peruse the attached screenshot. It shows exactly the number of unique visitors on IceInSpace on Tuesday, 28th August 2007. BTW, those figures do not include bots. They're listed in a separate area of the stats report. Of course i'm sure you'd know this, right? You seem to know enough to tell me what a bot is and that 90% of the users would be bots, right?
43000+ unique visitors on a day, when the usual average back then would've been about 2500.

Ken (Dragon Man),
I'm sorry, you can't compare the MyAstroSpace stats. The cookie timeout on MAS does not expire every 15 minutes like it does on IceInSpace.
On MyAstroSpace, the "Who's online/total users online" shows the the total number of people+bots who browsed the forum for the whole day.
On IceInSpace, the "Who's online/Totals users online" figure on the forum is the number people+bots who browsed the forum in the last 15 minutes.
So i'm sorry, you can't compare that screenshot and use that to prove that Peter's speculation was fact.

Bert,
Nice to see I wasn't alone at 5am, you were there with me to take the screenshot

Nice try

.

Thanks for trying to flame things again though, Peter. "fool I am not"?? The "facts" don't lie.

PS: This reply has nothing to do with Ray or the good folk at MyAstroSpace.
