qmap owner here. Not sure if Q's post about "post tracking site" refers to qmap censoring/adjusting user counts. But let me explain what happened past 2 days if it does.

ResignationAnon was claiming on twitter that he found a way to inflate qmap's user count. He created a script that could create endless sessions and he used it the other days when qmap counts jumped 200K+ rather quickly. I contacted him, did some testing, and it does look like he found a problem.

So I spent hours yesterday trying to figure out a new way to represent online counts. The old way was counting user session over the past 24 hours. The new way was to count unique user IPs in the past 30 minute (instead of 24 hours).

This has caused a lot of confusion which I am sorry about. I've decided to just remove the counters for now. Last thing I want to do is interfere with the plan!

It wasn't measuring page requests, it was measuring user sessions, but as I said, an anon found a way to create endless user sessions and threatened to exploit it.

The search is looking for the best, most relevant match. It sorts by matching score.

I can change it to sort chronologically if that's what everyone wants.

I will change to chronological for now and will add an option in the future

Yep. And unfortunately that's what happened to qmap, a bot/script was exploiting it. Until I can find a better way the counter will be removed.
