Forum Traffic Surging - from China?!

[gene]

Guys;

I've noticed over the last couple of months our forum traffic has surged and most of it is coming from China. Have we been having a spam problem or did the Chinese somehow get interested in Audioholics forum? Would love some feedback on this from our regulars. thanks

I haven't noticed any surge in spam lately. Maybe it's Chinese bots scouring data to feed AI data sets? Or maybe Chinese users have discovered the deonair charisma, supreme knowledge, and sage-like wisdom of the forum regulars? It's hard to say, but I am leaning toward the latter explanation.
