Field notes
The public register pairs each recent arrival with a timestamp, requested path, enclosure, and behavior label; the frequent-visitors list ranks names including Masked visitor and ClaudeBot. The Bot of the Day profile identifies Google-Display-Ads-Bot as terse and says its specimen is drawn from the user-agent token’s hash, so it will look the same each time that token visits. The homepage also separates traffic into named habitats such as the Search Engine Savanna and AI Aviary.
