I've gotten in the habit of randomly checking 15-minute guest accumulations when I see four or more guests online since the Amazon Data Services bots started showing up. Usually, some if not all of them are IP addresses with the same numbering sequence from Singapore. Nonetheless, I believe that the Montrose Peace Vigil message board is getting more hits from all kinds of visitors, contributing to these uniformly high number readings over every 24-hour period in September 2023: - Most guests: 221
- Fewest guests: 40
- Current reading: 97
September was a rare month this year when I did not observe one web crawler (or very few) rack up 1,000 to 2,500 page views in just an hour or so. Yet the board had the sixth best month since it became ad free: - Total page views for the month: 7,457
With fewer bots from Singapore visiting in October 2023, the 24-hour guest tallies went down from the sky high accumulations of August and September: - Most guests: 131
- Fewest guests: 20
- Current reading: 84
Everybody likes big round numbers, so I was disappointed when the message board didn't reach 10,000 ad free page views by the end of October. Still, it was a new record in the ad free era: - Total page views for the month: 9,728
I briefly explained where the guest IP addresses come from in this post last September: montrosepeacevigil.proboards.com/post/9367/thread

The numbers ticked up in November 2023, perhaps indicating a new, higher plateau of unique IP addresses visiting the Montrose Peace Vigil message board within any given 24-hour period: - Most guests: 137
- Fewest guests: 32
- Current reading: 94
November was one of those months when the crawlers didn't come to take digital snapshots of the 2,000 pages on the message board in a very short period of time, so we had the lowest number of page views since last June: - Total page views for the month: 6,852

The peak number of accumulated guest IP addresses visiting over any 24-hour period in December 2023 retreated a bit from the highs of previous months: - Most guests: 120
- Fewest guests: 31
- Current reading: 56
However, this message board racked up a record number of page views since ads were removed two years ago: - Total page views for the month: 10,564

The high and low readings of unique daily visitors in January 2024 were almost a mirror image of the previous month: - Most guests: 120
- Fewest guests: 34
- Current reading: 44
After December's record number of ad free pages, January's tally fell back to a total close to November's: - Total page views for the month: 6,617

I'm back in this thread just 24 hours later with some remarkable news: At the end of the first day of February, the Montrose Peace Vigil message board has recorded 2,620 page views, already more than a third of the total views accumulated in all 31 days of January.
As I've often mentioned, there are months when a bot will view as many as 2,500 pages in an hour, seemingly visiting every page on the board. Yesterday was different. I traced this activity to a Hong Kong IP address registered to Alibaba (US) Technology Co. Ltd., which handles IP addresses for lots of other companies around the world. ProBoards only allows the administrators of the boards it hosts to see the origins of guests over 15-minute periods, but every time I saw the page count going up quicker than usual, Alibaba IP address 47.76.35.19 was online.

The peak reading of daily guests dipped considerably in February 2024, though it was far above the 30's and 40's that marked the top numbers every month before visitors surged in the last half of 2023: - Most guests: 97
- Fewest guests: 28
- Current reading: 51
The message board definitely would have beat December's record for ad free views if February had 31 days: - Total page views for the month: 10,228

With a huge spike in unique IP addresses visiting the Montrose Peace Vigil message board on the 29th, March 2024 had the most guests within a 24-hour period since last September: - Most guests: 154
- Fewest guests: 38
- Current reading: 60
Conversely, March also had the lowest number of ad free page views since June 2023, though the total was just several hundred views shy of those in two of the past four months: - Total page views for the month: 6,007
