First of all, I want to welcome the newest member of the Montrose Peace Vigil message board, rossheckmann. Ross is a long time activist in the San Gabriel Valley who's well known to many vigil regulars.
In the five weeks since then, the peak number of guests within 24 hours was 172 and the lowest was 44. Right now, the board counter has 59, with 12 of them Googlebots. That spike of 172 occurred on November 10. Otherwise, the highest guest accumulation was 100 yesterday.
On the previous page of this thread, I wrote about bigger daily spikes last August and October. What's different about the last three big rushes, compared to other instances of heavier traffic on this board over the past five years, is that none of the IP addresses are known spammers, all of them are from the U.S. and Canada -- and they came within a few minutes, not spread throughout the day as before.
I searched all of the 51 IP addresses that landed here between 9:51 and 10:01 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on the 10th. As with the previous surges, most of our visitors came from the eastern half of North America, especially from colleges. This time, however, we had hits from accounts registered to newspapers, radio and TV stations from Visalia, Calif. to New York City, and from Seattle to Jacksonville, Fla. -- including C-SPAN in D.C. And somebody in a legislative office at the state capitol in Wisconsin.
In the past four weeks, the Montrose Peace Vigil message board set a new record of 668 guests within 24 hours, shattering the old mark of 306 last August. The next highest daily total was 123. The lowest guest accumulation was 39. As I post, the Info Center reads 65 guests, with 22 of those being Googlebots.
