I didn't deal with that in the first years of this forum... everything was steady. I only ever noticed the first swarm probably like 3 years into the site being online. By then there was a steady regular number of views that threads would get within like a week of being posted. I never noticed anything that upset the balance.
There have been like 2 threads though... the subjects of the threads put out a bot hit on 'em so they would get bolstered views. I knew what they were doing each time, but I felt bad for them, so I just allowed it. It is what it is. If they wanted it that bad, they can have it.
There is a certain magic to all the numbers which I appreciate and recognize. But I guess not every systems operator would appreciate that, as it is a tad mystical in nature.
