Do not track is ignored by pretty much everyone ever since Microsoft turned it on by default for everyone. People were like "fuck that" and that was the end of it.

I also get storage tank hire with strange regularity. I don't even understand. Who would ever look at an advert and decide yep I have a need for "Ranging from 4,500 litres (1000 gallons) tanks up to 150,000 Litres (32,000 gallons) tanks for chemical, effluent / waste, oil and petroleum, diesel and water, Plantcraft Ltd offer comprehensive hire arrangements for a minimum of two weeks to extensive long term hire periods."

Why does the Liquipedia tournament page not sort By Start or End?

And why is SC2 SSL S1 2017 listed twice?

Is a quality poster star still a thing? If so, what are the requirements to earn one?
(Perhaps it's a bit early, but I think K.H.J. might fit the bill. His posts are very valuable to the BW community imo!)

I'm not an admin but I've not heard anything to suggest they wouldn't be. Nominate him. Make a case, get the attention of admins and make it happen.

So I randomly noticed something really weird. I haven't posted a blog on TL since 2013. However, if I look at my blogs page there's some stats. They show my blogs as getting pretty consistently 500-1000 views a month, since mid 2014. Where is this traffic coming from? Bots? Search engine indexing? Is one of my blogs linked somewhere that gets a lot of traffic?

Someone probably clicked on the blogs button next to your name and read old blogs. That adds to the count. Is it a bad thing?

The thing is that I barely post these days, and how does that happen 500 times a month, consistently? Plus the views had basically fallen off to almost 0 by mid 2013, only to start to uptick way later. My blogs get more views per year now, than they did when I wrote them... I'm not really bothered, it just seems weird.

I just read/skimmed several of your blogs so there's another +x views. As for how, people probably looked at older threads, stumbled onto one of your post and just clicked blogs then read a blog then another etc...

This chart just looks really weird, that's all.

I guess so? I mean there are bots around but I don't think that's responsible for the count.

I can't imagine that random people clicking on my blog from next to my posts made 9000 views in 2016, when I didn't even post on TL in 2016. It must either be bots, or linked to from some other place.

Bots are likely a good part of it
