I guess those who are more freaked out by potential short-term ramifications are going to be more actively debating stuff. And why not? It doesn't necessarily reflect a majority view but I don't see why people can't discuss their peak-oil related anxieties here. Christ, we were all doing it a decade ago. I bought a doomstead as "insurance" but was still called a cornie :mrgreen:

I'm not so sure about the "doomer mindset" and all, but that isn't the only thing wrong with the premise of this thread. Can this site really still be called a mausoleum?

Wow. Look at those numbers! Maybe the increasing interest in this site is due to the whole peak oil "thing" making a comeback with the general public. I wonder what suddenly sparked so much interest? A doomer might say it was a sign that things are coming unraveled. LOL.

Most of those are probably DDOS attacks, based on what I've seen.

PO.COM is really in the No Man's Sky Reddit stage of irrelvance.

1) A 57.4% increase over last year cannot possibly be due to DDOS attacks. That is silly.
2) You sound like you want to drive traffic away.
3) So why do DDOS attacks happen to irrelevant sites?

.
DDOS are scavengers analogs , they target vulnerabilities in a perfectly Darwinian fashion
the digital world obey biological laws .

as for the doomer mindset , it is the normal consequence of unease at being on the top of the food chain
the only outcome being of growing yet bigger or being on the way to extinction

unease is growing ,it only require a bit of open-mindeness to be infected
admittedly some of our fellows bloggers have a bad case ,
I recommend the Red Army medical treatment , a copious amount of ethanol absorbed on a daily basis

fear not , after all dinosaurs reinvented themselves as birds
