Massive views on the networking thread

Wow, I didn't notice this until I kept refreshing OT, but the view count for the networking support thread (the top stickied thread) goes up by like 6 views/sec... lots of desperate people out there.
 
It's like our own national debt sort of counter

(I don't know if that made sense... you know that big billboard lighted thing...)

WTF would a bot want to visit the same page so many times while wasting bandwidth?

A bot is not capable of "wanting" 😛

Edit: Nor would it care about wasting bandwidth 😛

Are you implying bots dont have feelings? 😕

Long story...

I don't know anything about bots, if you have the time....

All the threads about it are deleted. dmcowen wanted over a million views on his thread, so someone wrote a bot that did it. I don't remember all the details. Obviously the bot is still working.
