To be fair, there's another way the population can increase without that many people. That's when someone keeps hitting refresh on a phone, when the phone keeps disconnecting that internet link & assigning a new IP address the next time refresh is hit.

+xThe website actually does have at least 1 bot, probably in each thread. I'd be surprised if google didn't do a scan sometimes too. Add in another (possible) one for the advertiser & that makes 3. Advertisers like that mostly use cookies in your browser though, a sniff through your browsing history. Just never assume or act like we're alone here, because we're not. What's posted at quiet times when the population may be under 10 stays visible for whatever day in the future anyone decides to go through it. The place does show up in google, even pages from last year, the year before etc, whether TK folks search for it or are aware of it or not. If the population says 35, it's most likely over 30 are people. In fact I'd be very surprised if it was any less & would need to see evidence. And bear in mind, other threads, in other sports categories on InsideSports, don't have the same regular & fluctuating guest population as this page. Most are dead pages, not an extra 2 dozen bots you're saying we had today or an extra 100 or so bots dropping by at other times. Yes, but are we #instafamous yet???... I commented on Volvo advertising here a while back... But it's been all adult diapers and alcohol since... Something. Smells funny.... :)

+x+x+x+x+xIt's a while since I spoke with anyone at the magazine. Long story short, they can't employ someone to monitor every post 24/7. They just expect reasonable self-moderation & an appropriate etiquette for all ages considering where we all are. The inclusive thing is for real too. They don't want to be contacted or bothered about every little thing, only if there's technical issues with the website or if some psycho cannibal or someone else that shouldn't be on the loose shows up, so they can get the police to sort it out asap. And for sure, I've seen several women members on the page, likely from other sports threads on the site, possibly they could be magazine staff too. It's possible some joined to post & never actually did. I'm sure there's countless other people, male/female of all ages landing here from google & elsewhere too, which would be hidden in the "guests" tally at the time. Man I think you’re really overselling here. Nobody from any of the more visible Dog sites knows we’re here, except maybe for Anna. And if they don’t know, nobody from the club, team or anything associated do either. Those numbers you see, the guests and all that - bots, looking for keywords to sell us whatever pops up In your feed above. We’re on our own here, just the way I like it. I agree. Everytime we post an "I hate Des" message, you'd think theyd be itching to jump on and debate the post or support it. But its always the usual suspects on here. And if the latest covid debate didnt prompt then to jump in and express themselves..... they dont exist Shutup U mockbot!!!... Yes even bots blame Des. And Des coached players to be robots... Russia will stop at nothing to attack our premiership window!!!... #TheSlinkspiracy...

+xYes, but are we #instafamous yet???... I commented on Volvo advertising here a while back... But it's been all adult diapers and alcohol since... Something. Smells funny.... :) You could try visiting a Volvo dealer website & see if the cookie it leaves in your browsing history does the trick. A bot detecting adult diapers & alcohol in your browsing history is inevitable... Seriously though, there was no active bot in that other InsideSport page. Clearly this website has an automated system for posting the latest articles, but no bots were hanging around in it. Based on that, it seems unlikely they're scanning for keywords, just going through the traces in everyone's browsers to do tailored advertising. So if it says 40 people on the page, it probably is, unless 1 is googles time to do a scan or maybe the website has a bot drop by once per day or something. It's possible. But not dozens or hundreds of bots just hanging around all the time.

Superbowl entertainment this year is led by a couple cool homie’s…. Dr. Dre & Snoop Dog!! Dman’s favourite song is ‘Gin & Juice’ so can’t wait for these dudes to belt out a couple of classics
What are the odds Snoop comes out smoking a joint?

2 Thunderbirds
3 Coronation Street
4 Inspector Morse
5 The Prisoner
6 The Avengers
7 Foyle's War
8 The Professionals
9 Blind Date

I found a Thames Television list by popularity & Benny is #6 there : https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?companies=co0103342I've never lived in England, so I don't know if Thames was a channel or a production company or where these shows aired.

I looked up Red Dwarf. It was BBC, so it just didn't make the BBC list above...

I'm not sure what #19 was doing there. I gave it a few eps. Just no. Maybe I lacked the cultural awareness, like if Americans tried to watch Kingswood Country.
I didn't have any probs watching Scottish shows like Rab C Nesbitt or Still game, both had plenty of funny eps.

I've never heard of Thunderbirds, only that American thing from the 60's with the puppet looking things.
Coronation Street is one of their big soapies with Eastenders going back decades. Neither have had long airtime in Aus to get much of a following here.
Inspector Morse, Foyle's War, Downtown Abbey have all been on here, I've just never watched them.
The Avengers, good old show from the 60's, Channel 9 were airing it early morns last year.
The Professionals I remember seeing a few times, cops & criminals kind of drama show.
The others left on the ITV list I've never heard of. I was surprised #1 was one of them.
There's 3 on that BBC list I hadn't heard of either, some I have heard of but never watched.

I just found this on Wiki : Thames, was a franchise holder for a region of the British ITV television network serving London and surrounding areas from 30 July 1968 until the night of 31 December 1992. It was also a production company. Thames Television broadcast from 9:25 Monday morning to 5:15 Friday afternoon (7:00 Friday night until 1982) at which time it would hand over to LWT. It continued as an independent production company until 2003. So that explains why Benny Hill & other shows weren't on the BBC list.

The Thunderbirds was a British show. And absolutely magnificent, way ahead of it’s time in story and production. Australian actor Ray Barrett was a mainstay, voicing most villains. Just another absolutely classic masterpiece of entertainment you’ve never seen.

And btw, still stands up today. You’ll find it on YouTube if not one of the channels on Foxtel. Fox8 used to run most Sat mornings, don’t know if it still does as I gave up Foxtel for Kayo (yeah I know I’m still paying the same bloke, but I don’t have to pay for 90% of shit I never watch).
