Kinda funny to see someone casually mention a roleplaying forum. That's what I run and it got 10x traffic overnight from AI bots. Made it when I was a teenager

Made it when I was a teenager and got stuck running it the rest of my life.
Of course, the bots go super deep into the site and bust your cache.
- lawlessone 1y agoyou'd be within your right to serve the bots fake gibberish data. Maybe they'll crawl less when it starts damaging models.
