RPGWatch: Most users ever online was 490, March 5th, 2007 at 21:40.
RPGDot: Most users ever online was 474 on Fri Dec 09, 2005 10:44 pm

With a lot of the same people from RPGDot, we managed to get a higher activity rate.

Well, about 450 of these 490 were crawlers and spambots.

Ditto for the 'Dot, I assume ...

I've come to the conclusion that spam email and spambots are no longer being created by humans. Seriously, think about it. Who on Earth would think that sending illegible emails to millions of email addresses would make money? Nobody does. Humans are not doing this. This is the early stages of Skynet.

I would think it still works. If you get 0.0001% it will still work for you... That's the magic. Believe it or not, there is enough people to reply/click...

I've recently read the guestbook of a great dancer from Cambodia.
The entries consisted of nothing else than spam.
And still the bots add.

Heh I'm begining to agree with skynet-theory.. This spam doesn't make any sense to a normal human being.

I like the Watch, since I believe it benefits from having the better people from the old Dot days, such as Dhruin. The current Dot... Not much to see, nowadays, and some of the news and features are... Disappointing, to be nice.

I think they used Babelfish for the headings and descriptions of the 'French' forums.

LOL? Why did they even complicate themselves with that? From what I see, there isn't a single thread in the French forums. And if they don't translate their news posts in French ... somebody there has a weird mind.
