An oddness has been showing up in my two main website stats packages which diverted my attention down a cute little rabbit hole. The oddness is a couple of hits a day (and by ‘a couple’ I mean anywhere between 1 and 15) from each of two websites I have no relationship with. Both of these websites are forums, one is graphic novel specific, the other has many bulletin boards\/sub-forums, the majority of which don’t have any specific topic or dedicated purpose. Fortunately the former has an indexed search function. Unfortunately the latter has no search facility at all. In the graphic novel forum a search of my TLD led me to a user who had adopted, as their avatar, a photograph they’d found on this blog. Unfortunately I can’t execute the same level of cunning on the other forum; without a search facility I’d have to visit tens of thousands of pages and carry out a manual CTL-F on each one and I just CBA to do that. But I feel it’s likely to be the same kind of story, and I’m OK with that. I could force a change on the graphic novel user – change the URL of the photograph – but that seems small-minded. S\/He’s hardly burning massive amounts of bandwidth and I have no bandwidth restriction anyway, so I’m going to live and let live. I’m curious as to what the other forum is pointing at, but it too is low bandwidth so I’ll just have to let it be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
