Real number of activity

Maybe PX-Z can create some extension like that and a Recognized score (Most Recognized is calculated using: 1000 - ((Activity Rank + Trust Rank + Earned Merit Rank) / 3).) (source: https://bpip.org/)

I think PX-Z can surely make something, but after recent attacks on TalkImg website I am a bit hesitant with projects like this.
Maybe AltcoinsTalks is not such a big target like Bitcointalk forum, but PX-Z can't do everything for free.

What happened to talk img is completely normal and it happens to every website. It happened even to mine.

Ddos attacks  happen all the time when any website reaches more than 5k visitors per month. Sometimes even cloudflare might be doing that to force people to paid plans

You can see it on your stat page, i guess admin should add the posts count on the profile page too.

Yep. There are "Total Posts" on our account stats.
However, if you count the number of your total post manually, the number of your total post can be different.
Kindly check my post here: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=325384.msg1656849#msg1656849

I guessed, it is because the post moved to trash are also showed on our post history.

@admin, is possible that the posted removed to Trash won't showed anymore on the post history?

This potentially makes some a confusion to bounty managers.

And its expensive, one of my sites got ddos and its annoying, you only need to do is wait and use ddos protect service with of course additional pay.

Yes, i have mentioned that too in this thread. There are boards that posts are not counted and activity is not affected too.

The "Total posts" in stat page fixed that.

I don't know if is normal, but I know that everyone who owns a website needs to have money for protection against this attacks.
Maybe admin should say more about ddos attacks on Altcoinstalks, and how is he keeping forum stable and online when that happens.

Altcoinstalks uses Cloudflare for DDOS protection.
https://builtwith.com/altcoinstalks.com

Nearly half of the top 10.000 websites use cloudflare.

. Ranked by traffic, 4,332 out of 10,000 most popular websites globally use Cloudflare.https://backlinko.com/cloudflare-users

So does the bitcointalk.org, and I can remember we had several serious attacks in recent history.
I don't think that anything can protect any website if someone really want to attack it and if they have unlimited resources available for that.
I guess ALtcointsTalks is more lucky, or they still fly under the radar

Those attacks are expensive. I think the best is to wait a few days... it will pass. Just like happened to talkimg.

Some attacks even with full cloudflare plan can take down a website. So there isn't much to do but wait.

There is no inexplicable reason why random sites are being attacked. Altt may have been under the radar until now, but for example, Bitmover's site, which is smaller than Altt, was under a DDoS attack two months ago.

Those attacks are expensive. I think the best is to wait a few days... it will pass. Just like happened to talkimg.

As far as I understand, talkimg suffered seriously because of that attack, I think even the server was changed.
It's not just a matter that things will calm down with time, but everything requires more attention, and more engagement for remediation, which are always additional costs for the site owner.

Such random attacks on smaller sites as well, the only explanation for them is that they come from companies dealing with ddos ​​protection and online security. It only benefits them.

I think talkimg may be particularly difficult to protect while keeping all functionality,  because users need to be able to post images, and images should also load from other servers...

A sinple cloudflare plan may just not be enough

Sure, they are expensive for most people, but not for someone who is printing money from thin air and have unlimited money supply
There is no way some random evil hackers are doing all this attacks, that are stories told for little kids and to people who are watching and believing everything that is coming from mainstream media.

Nobody has  a printinf money machine forever like that. And even if Trump was doing that, he would not attack talkimg or bitcointalk lol

Those attacks can't stay for long in real-life..

[dkbit98]

Sure they have, printing money is happening only with numbers digitally, they could never cash out all in circulation, and that proves what I am saying.

And even if Trump was doing that, he would not attack talkimg or bitcointalk lol

I never said Trump personally is going to attack anything.
Just look at the history of government and what kind of stupid attacks they did against citizens.
