view counts?

[viviridian]

a couple of the threads in this board have huuuge view counts. @snow do you have any idea what's up with that? (does smf have @-references? i guess not)

OpenAI

For a couple days, their GPTBot servers were hitting the site upwards of 10k times. I have the server return 403 on all of their crawler User-Agents now.

I still need to see if I can reset those threads' views. I'll probably have to do it from the database.

oof 

yeah i think that poking the db is probably the only way to reset those

And a couple SQL queries later, all the huge view counts have been set to 10 views.

... or 15 views? I wonder how that's set.

Well anyway, it's "fixed" for now.
