Thread 'views'

[Grrrrr]

Just a quick and slightly random question;

Roughly what proportion of thread views are by members and the rest by 'bots'?

bots?

bots?

Computer programs essentially. E.g. google has bots that scans the text of a page and when it come to a link it scans that page as well (and so on), it uses this info to find our searches. Other bots for example scan every page looking for email addresses to add to spam mailing lists

Bit hard to tell really, I would say 99% of them would be by people going by how threads are usually viewed when made and how long it may take a bot to come round.

Some of those, but not all, may be 'bots'.
