What happened to StyleForum on August 6, 2009 at 4:51pm? - Page 2

If you look up styleforum.net on Alexa and pull up the forum's traffic stats over the last two years, you will see a curious pageview drop followed by a huge surge in pageview around the August mark. This pattern is also reflected on the "Time on site" charts on Alexa. Was this forum down or suffering from network difficulties prior to August 6? This spike looks like a traffic hiccup and I don't think it is correlated to any fashionable events. edit: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/styleforum.net#

Maybe my memory is faulty, but I could swear someone chalked it up to an attack of the spambots.

Maybe there was one of these going on...



I'm not sure, I wasn't a member then.

P.S. If you're wondering, its from the Goobacks episode.

Do you think we can beat this when we are back up on v.2?

No, that was actually a spam attack. The forum was down after that, and was spotty for the rest of the week as those attacks kept coming.

As the new forum will seriously cut back on the spam accounts, i doubt that we will ever get close to those numbers again...

Thanks for clearing it up. Although today I felt like everyone and their mother was on here.

Kind of like the traffic that would occur if the first Krispy Kreme opened up somewhere like Waxahachie, Texas.
