Title: The forum stats are wrong! @theymos check it out,please. Post by: TheBeardedBaby on August 29, 2019, 08:16:16 AM Hello guys..
Browsing the forum stats (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats) I found something wrong. The user papperbag (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2351559) was registerd back in 2018.. Code: Date Registered: August 17, 2018, 09:40:02 AM If you check the top 10 of Most Time Online base on the stats he was online for 1238d 8h 12m How this is possible when he was registerd 379 days ago?? Code: hmblm1245 2387d 17h 35m BTW, those accounts are registered on the same day except the first one: randomnessie August 14, 2018, 06:40:12 AM papperbag August 17, 2018, 09:40:02 AM whitesark5 August 17, 2018, 09:15:12 AM flagge August 17, 2018, 09:32:29 AM x-ample August 17, 2018, 08:40:52 AM Title: Re: The forum stats, are those correct? Post by: DdmrDdmr on August 29, 2019, 08:32:28 AM If you compare with the same stats from the 19/07/2019, it looks like some of the entries in the stat are consistent (for a month and 10 days gap), whilst others are completely off. See https://web.archive.org/web/20190719212948/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats
The first 5 (up to @grv) are consistent, but the bottom five have been replaced, baring numbers that seemingly incoherent in relation to the gap of days between the two stats (current vs the one referenced above). @whitesark5 is in the same incongruent situation as @papperbag too, and so are the rest of the trailing five entries. <…> Apart from the date of creation, the incoherent accounts are Brand New, and are currently online. That is weird, and perhaps those accounts have been active 24/7 since they were created. That still does not add-up, but there may be a casual relationship.Could be something related to the cookies: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3173586.0 Title: Re: The forum stats, are those correct?

Post by: TheBeardedBaby on August 30, 2019, 12:47:38 PM I think those bottom 5 accouts are scraping/reporting bots maybe part of Cyrus' task force Cryptios. We would never know for sure but they are still messing up with the stats.
... so bump for visability... Title: Re: The forum stats, are those correct? Post by: LoyceV on August 30, 2019, 09:19:09 PM forum stats (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats) If you refresh this page a few times, you'll see the "Time Online" goes up by a couple of minutes in just a few seconds. This topic was created just a day and a half ago, but the "Time Online" has increased by 73 days since then.Could it be the "Time Online" is counted for each instance that's online, and could it be that user account is used by (give or take) 50 different bots scraping the forum at the same time?

Post by: TheBeardedBaby on September 02, 2019, 07:24:51 AM They are still off with many days and they keep reducing the gap between the real top 5 ones.
Bump for theymos' attention. |
