High Site Activity Today

[tesco]

What's going on?
"Currently Active Users (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/online.php): 1346 (399 members and 947 guests)"
This is the highest I've seen in at least a year! And It just happened suddenly today.

Did my optimizing FST for search engines pay off, (Doubtful, I just did it 2 days ago :lol:) or are we getting traffic from some new source today? Did a tracker close down? :lol:

[Something Else]

I think your optimising did pay off. Try googling 'UKT' . That site seems to have closed, causing all the members to google for a reason.

That's my guess.

EDIT: Check viewing figures for this thread. http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bittorrent-43/t-what-happend-uk-t-374142

[tesco]

I think you're right.
Just look at this thred for example:
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bittorrent-43/t-what-happend-uk-t-374142/page20
29 members viewing it right now.

Interesting though how no matter how you google,fst presents the most relevant result to what's being discussed on that thread.

[tesco]

Actually it's Google presenting the result.
Unless I misunderstood your post. :unsure:

[satya87]

hmm good for fst tesco

There have been a few NZB sites down too, one migrating servers, since yesterday, so some could be flocking to the "free NZBs" while this other site finishes migrating, that is if at least half that high activity is going to that section.

There's 24 people viewing that thread now, that you guys mentioned.

[tesco]

SOL, there are 174 viewing the Newsgroups section right now. Not sure what thread(s) though... This total does not include the NZB Index (though it does count the nzb forums)
The NZB index currently has 120 viewing.

These are all time highs for these two sections I believe. :D

BitTorrent on the other hand, with over 300 viewing right now, has been over 1000 viewers before.

[SonsOfLiberty]

Yeah a few members were waiting on Dexter last night and some other shows and RuS was down so they came here.....and been up and down all day...and I think word of mouth has caught the NZB part and more people migrating to Usenet to.

[The_Martinator]

You must be proud, Tesco! :lol:

Seriously, the UK-T thread is prolly the reason.

[Hairbautt]

I started posting again.

[brightsid]

The ex-wheels thread is obviously the reason. It's fun for me at least

And a question for the ones that have been here longer

Most users ever online was 3,132, 12-19-06
Anyone remember what happened that day?

[Barbarossa]

That's when Mulder posted pics of his cawk to all the ladies

[brightsid]

:w00t:
Thought it was just a legend

[SonsOfLiberty]

Maybe it has something to do with COD MW2 coming out :lol: ??

A tracker closed down... :lol:

Seriously.
But we were actually busier around that time.
That mixed with yahoo search spiders crawling the site from 2000 different IPs every 15 minutes.

[yipie]

I noticed this site is down like half the time....thought it was just crappy servers.

[SonsOfLiberty]

You probably coming here at 10:00AM UK time? if so it's down for an hour for maintenence.

[Purple_Ice]

At almost 54000 views the UK-T thread is causing some traffic that's for sure!

[kooltilldend]

perhaps the most traffic ever for a single topic? (at uk-t)

[Ags]

We're homeless right now... FST is the only place offering us shelter & food. Who knows? Perhaps we'll like the place and stay around a little bit longer.

Hello by the way :)

[Skiz]

It's even higher right now:

Currently Active Users: 1507 (501 members and 1006 guests)

Just looking at the block of users on the the bottom of the forum home page says a lot. I haven't seen a list that long in some time I guess that says that people are registering and not just browsing as guests? Seeing as in just the past couple of weeks Scenetorrents, FTWR, UK-T, Zamunda, Mininova, TPB, comicreleech, (and some others I can't recall) have all chosen to either close their sites or have been forced to take them down.


Most users ever online was 3,132, 12-19-06 at 11:30 AM.

What was going on around that time? :huh:

[anon]

Zamunda didn't have to close down - they're just having international routing issues :)

[Skiz]

Zamunda didn't have to close down - they're just having international routing issues :)

Well, perhaps it's extended down time is causing it's users to explore other avenues anyhow.

[Cabalo]

once I checked and there were almost 300 people watching the "sct closing" thread.
Now it's the spam " I'm a refugee of ScT, please invite me to a leet tracker". *sigh*

[Eros-x]

I found this website on bing. Lul

[gath]

I told you encounter, wish you sympathy to happiness

[QPD]

There is a certain poetry to that incoherence.

You should read the previous page. Barbarossa gave the answer and I didn't ask for proofs :whistling

[SonsOfLiberty]

Shit I found the site by quicedence, was looking for Usenet related info, and this came up in every search I did :lol:

[tesco]

coincidence?

[SonsOfLiberty]

Maybe? Googled the spelling, shows ya Google isn't always right.

[tesco]

Not a glitch.

[Tv Controls you]

Not a glitch.
