I recently noticed that one
rather obscure demo on my site has been getting a lot of hits. Cool, someone finally saw how cool my cabinet building demo was! And only 4+ years after I wrote it!
Wait, it's getting more hits than the rest of my site combined! Plus, wait, 2000 and some hits, wasn't that number familiar, oh yeah, some robot hit my site about that many times... wait a minute...
Over a period of time, Openbot hits my site 2206 times. Over that same period, builder.cgi gets 2020 hits. Assuming the robot finds 180 other thing to get interested before or after getting trapped in builder.cgi, it all makes sense. Especially considering no other page in my site gets near enough traffic to account for hits from the Openbot user agent.
Stupid Robot!
