122 right now, though I suspect that number is usually a little higher than reality...

SC,
sounds like some of the participants here. ("a little higher than reality...")

I wonder if that includes Spammers.

The number is a 30-minute rolling average, and I would assume it includes spammers, crawlers, and even people who followed a google link to view a thread, looked at it for 5 seconds, then closed the window. I think it's essentially the number of registered users who loaded a page, plus any other unique IP addresses (who are all guests) that load a page.
For instance, right now it shows 144 users, only 34 registered users, and 110 "guests". Some of those 110 are people actually browsing the forum, but just not logged in, but I'd guess a bunch of them are crawlers and visitors who followed google links.

it always catches me off-guard as to how much is going in behind this neat little user interface we have called a web-page.  There's an entire hidden world of programs and sub-routines doing battle. I've never even heard of "crawler" before but Wikie has an entry for it. It all reminds of Tron (yes, I'm old)

Search engine 'bots crawling the site make up 1/4 to 1/2 the traffic we see here. It's crazy.
What I find nuts is the level of resources Google has to crawl every single website out there continuously. It's one thing to scan the entire 'net and then start over again in and have it take a week or two but they seem to do it continuously. If you post something here, and then cut and past a sentence from the post, it'll show up in Google within hours. That's an insane amount of servers scanning the 'net.
For example, Dragan wrote "it always catches me off-guard as to how much is going in behind this neat little user interface we have called a web-page."
Google that sentence and you'll find that thread. First search hit. 19 hours after it was posted. I wonder how many hours it takes on average for Google to have seen the updates...

Kal, I've googled something within MINUTES of it being posted here, and Google had already indexed it... Unbelievable!
I wonder if sites get ranked by rate of change (like a "dynamic" rating) and get put in a queue to get crawled more often, maybe also based on click-through rates. So, a site like this (and other busy forums) is crawled continuously, while a site like my personal website is only crawled say, yearly.

Would it surprise anyone if Google is tied directly to the NSA database? Anyone here who posts anything questioning the government, our sham democracy, or our loss of freedom is almost already certainly been cataloged. Being a foreign web-site with many US participants almost certainly makes CP.com a "high profile target".

You're probably right. That would make a lot of sense and cut down on the amount of work their servers have to do (hence cut down on the number of servers needed). When a new site is found they can poll it (say) weekly and if content changes and it's deemed a site of "interest" (amount of traffic and searches that link to the site) then they may go down to every 2 days, then 1 day, then hourly...
On the flip side if content is not found to be diffferent after many weeks in a row then they may go to monthly checking.
Who knows how it really works. Google's very good at keeping how they do it all very secret.
