Title: Bot attack on the GlobalLogin database?
Post by: bitmate on July 07, 2007, 07:04:02 PM

I've been wondering why there have been so many registrations in the last few hours.

When I had a look at the player lists, there have been 10200 (-5000 of course) players registered, which is abnormaly high in my opinion.
Then I checked the list a few hours later, and there have been more than 500 additional registrations. o.O

Updating the page every 2-3 minutes brings up 20-25 new registrations.  Either it's another bot / girl scout attack, or the game gets more and more famous.

The internet is big.


Edit:
Looks like downloads raised 900% in the last couple of days.

That's fairly exciting, even if it does batter the last remnants of comprehensible english in the support section.

I find it odd that more people download the game than visit the site.  That or one of the counters is off.  Hopefully the one on the site. :)

...and now look at this one: http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=89601&ugn=paintball2&type=prdownload&mode=alltime&package_id=114672&release_id=0
Holy crap, it's growing! =D
I think that might even be realistic somehow.
