my bookmarkers jumped 300% in 1 day, very odd. I think someone is fucking with me.

anyway to tell if something odd is going on?

The low tech way without tracking unique ips (which can be fooled with new hitbot technology) to know a hitbotter is to watch traffic levels. Most hitbotters are GREEDY and LAZY and are TOO stupid to know real traffic drops by about 20% on weekends. They keep the script sending at the same level 7 days a week. If someone's traffic doean't drop on a weekend then you KNOW 9/10 times it's a cheating asshole that needs to be blacklisted everywhere.
