Probably quite a few but I do think it has a fairly high traffic of real people too. There does seem to have been an upswing in activity the last month or so.

    Usually their purpose is to gather information. Often they're used to spread propaganda.

Bots are automated systems that pretend to be human web browsers. Usually bots are used to quickly collect information from as many places as possible, but some bots are programmed to leave comments and spread lies as RM said.

most of our bots come from servers in paris. Which i find kind of weird.

Every now and then I check ip's and they're Always paris.

That said avg keeps telling me I live in leicester or nottingham. I don't live anywhere near either city.
So when it asks if I want to hide my locaiton I say: 'hell no, keep telling them I live somewhere totally random Smiley'

Hmmm... my guess is that there’s one system scraping the site in parallel, and the proxy server for it is in Paris.

I was about to say they're almost certainly not really in Paris Cheesy
