I updated my forum to 2.3 yesterday and immediately noticed a drop in online visitors (many of them definitely bots)...
Is it a coincidence, or does 2.3 have some feature that discourages bots?
Coincidence, I think. I have been on 2.3 for a while and have had more bots than ever the past few months. Any other changes like implementing CloudFlare? They are blocking AI bots, IIRC.
