Be number 1 for the new year and get a huge hosting upgrade

Kind Regards

This would be great, if it was accurate. It's telling me I've had 6 page views in 3 days.

My own stats program places that in the hundreds. The idea that I've had no page views today is simply ridiculous.

Re paste the code in, it works fine for me.

How come another website has a gateway to deter cheating and my website doesn't?

If the website you are talking about is sci fi heaven, then i believe that this website has some sort of a robot trailing it as i have been refreshing top websites page and his counter goes up in unique hits every minute.

35 minutes on and there has been an increase by at least 40 hits.

Robots can't affect the system as far as I know (doesn't it need different IP addresses?)

But I'll explain why its been going up so quickly.

We're being linked to from the following:
www. fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=7&t=15968&newsid=0
Which is pulling in a lot of hits as its displaying on the www. fireflyfans.net main page.

Also, we uploaded some Doctor Who videos today, which are being linked to from:
www. exisle.net/mb/index.php?showtopic=35144

The new theme tune from Doctor Who is being linked to from:
www. trekbbs.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=5418867&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1

Our competition too, is being linked to from here:
www. trekbbs.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=5422827&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1

Our Tom Hanks story is being linked to from here:
www. sflare.com/?p=1050

I hope this explanation is satisfactory for you, but definitely no robots are being used.

May I just mention that the accusation of cheating is not one I take lightly.

I'm assuming this has closed by now...
