To the Mods are ESR numbers(hits) manipuated? I took some screen shots and I will post but the hit count of all therads decreased dramatically overnight. eg some threads have zero hits although there were numerous hits by several posters. I will post screen shots later.

This is happening again. I noticed it over the last couple of days. I took a screen shot earlier today. I will post. The hit counts went from >210 to less. It is not possible to have a decrease in thread hits. here is what I am seeing. This has happening since last couple of days

It is impossible for the post(s) count to be less than the hits counts. Something is going on.

Well if people just view without commenting then post would be less. But it is interesting what you have observed. Almost no promotion of ESR is done and overall posting activity is fairly low, but still folks are reading the content and using it in other places from what I see. Proboards is getting its ads displayed with each view so they are benefiting and ESR is getting more traffic than a lot of one-shot Pro-boards sites that are in hibernation, or have zero activity for months on end. We are on a number of radar screens, not all friendly I have no doubt. Still what you see is somewhat strange. Keep on investigating by all means. What do you have on the source of ESR hits? Last I saw 2 year ago was mostly USA- to be expected- followed by UK, but then I saw smaller but clear percents out of South Africa, Europe (GErmany and Netherlands),even a few Russia.

when the "black skin white skull" went up Within two days it was over 100hits/views by the 5th days it was over 200hits/views. Now it is down to "4"!!!!! Someone is "adjusting" the traffic numbers. And that is not the first time. I track these these things to see what resonates with readers. This "Black skin white skull" is a bombshell!!!

" Someone is "adjusting" the traffic numbers"
you mean someone is tampering with the existing information in order to create lies. In order to create a fake narrative that they are more comfortable with....i.e. LIES.
whoever is behind it, they have to be EURO/white. It appears to be a very deep cultural value. To lie and distort evidence that show them as being "superior". ........the behavior is also deeply pathological.

lol trying to "generate controversy" eh? No one is being fooled by the "militant" act.

I can vouch for Kel ...and Zarahan.
Militant aside...the real issue is why are the traffic numbers manipulated on ESR? Why is there a reduction of hit views/counts? Is it incidental for that thread or deliberate? "black skin white skull"

Two yrs ago didn't the numbers readjusted themselves, if I can remember rightly. Hmmm who would have the skills set to do that tho. OK everyone reading this give the post a thumbs like and see of anything changes.

No sure what the thumbs will do. Many people lurk and don't post. We have over 500 views today. Today I see 573 views in the last 24hrs. People read and don't comment and prefer to remain silent ...for whatever reason. That is why I track these things. I want to know what people are reading and where their interest are.
The Black skin White skull was off to a great start. Within a few days it was over 200hits. Then the numbers were "adjusted" down. That is impossible. The question is who and why? ...or what happened if it was accidental. Yes, a few years ago it happened and the number were fixed within a day. It is several days now and this time it was not adjusted back to where it should be.

OK well I agree that if there are any underhanded shenanigans going on it is the enemies of African diversity hiding in and hitting from the shadows, cowardly like, as usual. Like the Wiki moles who hide in the shadows as they do their dirty work. Point taken.
Re the sudden adjustments it could be that web server glitches double up on views then corrected itself or as you say, various manipulators, too cowardly to engage in the open, are at work under the table, and corrections were made to whatever it was they were doing.
But in any event over 500 visitors a day with little advertising or heavy daily posting is better than many places, including some Facebook groups. And if those visitors look at 1-3 pages each time so much the better- we are adding value to Proboards click-stream and ad-view stats- a fair exchange.
Looking at the "skulls" thread it is not that controversial compared to all the other stuff documented here, unless some feel threatened by the detailed research showing clear bias and distortion re race and Egypt, things black scholars said for decades but were dismissed or ignored. Martin BErnal comes along in the late 1980s and gets a whole lot of press for some of these things. BUt your article does include a lot of detail Bernal left out on Egypt, an area in which overall, he did weak, mediocre work. He failed to really develop the clear scholarship on the African character of Kemet, (the DNA blood groups, the limb proportions, the archaeological data, etc) All this stuff he could get, having full access to all the research libraries, plus staff and admin support to help with the workload. Ivan van Sertima rightly criticizes him on some aspects, showing that he was only too happy to piggy back on the 'Afrocentric' "Black Athena" angle to generate publicity for what would have been just another shelved academic tome, but afterwards, all too willing to dis black scholars who had labored long to make the same points, having only a fraction of the resources.

Still BErnal made some good arguments. The article backs up the his notion of the so-called "Aryan model" of a white/whiter Egyypt that gained prominence over a more balanced view back in the day. Among other things is how some of that earlier balance "disappeared" when the supremacists gained prominence. For example in one of those snippets: "This can most readily be demonstrated by examining the treatment of the Egyptians across the different editions of Arnold H. L. Heeren’s Ideen u¨ber die Politik den Verkehr und den Handel der vornehmsten Vo¨lker der alten Welt.34 In the first edition of 1804 and again in the third edition of 1815, Heeren repeated Herodotus’ statement about the Egyptians being a Black race with wooly hair as decisive proof that Egypt had many Blacks, even if this did not establish that its population consisted completely of Blacks. However, the reference was omitted in the fourth edition of 1826. So was the conclusion that it was more than probable that the population of Egypt hailed from Ethiopia or Southern Africa...
If one examines the different editions of the Ideen, one sees Heeren at work seeking out evidence that would support his attempt to lighten the Egyptians.." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keita shows similar games being played in the 1920s and 30s where some scientists not only routinely reclassified Negro or black-looking skulls as "Mediterranean" but at times threw out such "darker" samples out of final datasets. Many in the Egyptology establishment wants to bury and whitewash away such things these days as "unimportant" when in fact, they were considered very important not so long ago, so important that systematic distortion was taking place. I ran into an old ENcyc Britannica article from 1990 that talked abut "the blacks" and "the Mediterraneans" as if they were 2 different "races" in Egypt, or as if "sub-Saharan" Africans are all "supposed" to look a certain way, and when in fact so-called "Sub-Saharan" features overlapped "Mediterranean" ones. Today that we are getting a picture of how deep the distortion and deception goes, and while academic studies and writings have made some strides in correcting these, a steady drum beat of propaganda across the web continues the same tactics of denial, distortion and deception, or on the flip side, a pooh-pooh, downplay, minimization approach.
