And how many guest/members where online that time?
There often seems to be 30 odd guests, mostly mobile devices or nothing that looks suspicious to me. Its difficult to analyse because the page seems to refresh itself quite frequently.janus_zonstraal wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 3:04 pmAnd how many guest/members where online that time?
And about the robots text normally there isn't a robots text in phpbb.
So how did yours come there and why so many sitemaps?
Can you place a screen print of this guests here?Still getting 40 odd guests.
