Default Photobucket pic statistics. Who's looking?

According to my Photobucket stats this site views more of my old scraping photos (machines/home made scraper stuff) than any other website, of course there are only a few where I have posted pictures so it's not alot of competition.

I guess what I'm getting at is that there appears to be lots of interest about machine scraping on/at this website in particular. With all the views I get on certain pics there must be a search engine sending "guests" here to get info.

Oddly enough when I logged in looking down the topics list for where the photos were implanted, they were in different sections. To find them I had to search "scraping".

Do the rest of you experience the same kind of trends, or do you even follow where your photos are viewed from? (I've seen some of my gun build photos being use on a Honda repair technician forum!)

I see this as a tool that a site owner could use to attract more views. Maybe there needs to be a scraping forum?

I think a scraping forum would be wonderful.
I have a lot of things I would like to scrape but I dont have the knowledge.

Default Scraping Forum?

While I would be interested in discussions of scraping, I doubt there would be enough traffic to warrant a forum devoted solely to that topic. It is a topic that is appropriate for general discussion.

However, if it is very easy to create a new discussion category, perhaps Jeff could add it and we could see how popular it becomes.

I can add forum categories in a matter of minutes if people want. Critics have said we already have too many categories (with little traffic) here already. But either way is fine with me, its your forum

Is there a way to move the old threads into the new area?

Sorry, I guess I should have looked before I typed!
