Discussion .is is still active from members, but the lurkers are really starting to die out.

Back when I was a lurker, I remembered seeing an average of 3k lurkers, or even more. I once even saw 10k once.

But As of right now, there's only about 700 lurkers.

Idk if this is a good thing or shit

It's because of cloudflare stopping a lot of the bots I assume.

All the bots are gone. These are the true numbers of lurkers we get

 

[zd60]

think most of the 10k were bots

Why did cloudfare get shut down for .is for a little while?

I think to prevent ai scraping

A few months ago we were averaging 17-20K lurkers for some reason, then all of a sudden it dropped back down to 3K. Now we are on an average of like 500.

From what I have heard it is due to cloudfare

Nah it is because of the new cloud flare thingy.

Anti ddos measure.

why do you even think it's a bad thing

Pretty much this. I prefer keeping normgroids away from the forum as much as possible. Any real incels will inevitably come to find it, anyway.
