I'm glad there aren't any search results for amputated dead baby porn.

dong_resin may not have posted anything for a few months, but his legacy of bukkake search hits remains.

God, these are blasts from the past: anorexia pictures, tentacle rape, scooby doo porn, tunak tunak tun lyrics. Seems we've discussed these all in the past. Some cool new ones, though (or at least I don't recognize them): armenian porn, snood crack.

Still no toboggan porn. :(

WTF? I am trebly disturbed, one that such a thing exists, two by what the hell it could possibly be and three that 41 saerches were made for it.

hey, 12-228-10-87.client.attbi.com... why did you hit the site 54000 TIMES.

unless, you know, that's matt.

The pageviews overtime graph is interesting. I wonder what the unique vistors stats are; I would imagine that they rose significantly after Sept 11.

Server logs are like crack to me. So, hm, Metafilter-(more addictive than crack)-logs... oh dear.

I think I need help...
posted by whatnotever at 8:12 PM on January 1, 2002

I think you're correct RobertLoch, I just added a new graph, of distinct IPs per month, with a noticeable spike in September.

But there's also the 2 week slumber in August, which might make it appear more pronounced.

Hmm.. I guess 1211 404 errors isn't too bad (but is it justification enough for a custom 404 message?)

That's almost 1800 hits a day, I doubt that's matt. Probably a failed DOS attack.

Jonmc, I can't help but direct you to this.
Y'know, for fun.

'I just added a new graph' Cheers for that mathowie. Perhaps MetaFilter could be used as some sort of gage on society. It would be interesting to know what the correlation overtime is between top news events and page views/individual IP's. I'd speculate for instance that just before the US election there was probably a blip upwards.

Scooby Doo porn! Also mentioned here, which back-references this, which leads you here! The lasting contribution I've been dying to make to the world, finally brought to fruition! Google: it's the gift that keeps on giving.

For my next performance, I will utter the phrase SOUTH PARK PORN and see if that does the trick in twelve months' time....

Hima Otsubusu: A good thing about Fark.com: its NSFW warnings on nude and/or sexually explicit photos. Wish you had done that (or e-mailed Jonmc.)

pretty funny, otherwise.
