SOTA Hit Counter Rapidly Increasing
Has anyone noticed that the SOTA hit counter is increasingly VERY rapidly?
Re: SOTA Hit Counter Rapidly Increasing
That is probably due to people checking in frequently, hoping that the applications will become available. Makes sense. There've been a few things happening lately.
Other possibility is that they scripted it to do that, to interest people. But, it isn't likely. I mean, if people are on the site all ready, they are probably going to be looking at every page, anyway.

Re: SOTA Hit Counter Rapidly Increasing
its gone up by like 70,000 in the last 1/2 hour though. Are there really that many page views going on?
Re: SOTA Hit Counter Rapidly Increasing
Every time you refresh it counts as a hit. It doesn't remember your IP like most counters tend to, so as 1000+ people take turns refreshing every few minutes, stuff goes up pretty quick.
Re: SOTA Hit Counter Rapidly Increasing
actually there is a forum on unfiction forums about the increase, as a result a lot of people, including me, went to the website and started refreshing it as fast as we could in an attempt to get above 1,000,000 and "break" it, it got past 1 million but nothing significant happened...guess we just wait until the lunar cycle

Re: SOTA Hit Counter Rapidly Increasing
Someone wrote a script that hits up the site non stop. They totally ****ed me. I was going to try and be #777777. 
After checking another website, my suspicions were on the mark. I knew this would happen eventually.
40 every 5 seconds? *cough* It's me *cough*
I took the idea and automated it with a script in the Mac OS X terminal.
The script: `while echo; do curl -s -o /dev/null http://www.easycounter.com/counter.php?sota; done`
In other words, the computer is refreshing the counter as fast as it can.
EDIT: 600K. I'm stopping
