Pages are revisited periodically to check for changes. This has been going on for many years. It may be that such page visits are now better detected than formerly, so appear in website statistics, for example as 'guests'. If the page exists and access is not somehow restricted (as in the "dark web"), bots will find it and analyse it. This is a feature of the www, it's not necessarily sinister (though some bots are probably up to no good) and is something we cannot avoid, like pop-ups and requests to accept or decline cookies....

It's odd that Robin Hood has a gold sword but can't afford a new shirt.

Not sure what to make of the fish robot.It's hillarious, will get this at some point.

The rabbit really need a pocket watch and rabbit feet.Agreed, it would have taken nothing even to add a printed chain to the vest. Now the feet have been pointed out it's hard to ignore that they used a mould from the Asterix theme instead of a proper rabbit foot mould. It would have been better to give him shoes then it could actually be used elsewhere. As it is a fat ghost is about the only thing possible. Red eyes look nice but rabbits with red eyes is a sign of myxomatosis, a fatal disease, then again it has ghostly human feet...
The wine queen with matching top is such a no brainer you have to ask why they gave her a green top.
The architect? does need stripes on the arms, I'll add these on my one. This actually stands out more (once pointed out) than the rabbit feet.
I do like the white rabbit though and I hope they do a mad hatter character at some point. They need an Alice too and some card soldiers, the Queen already exists. That just leaves the Doormouse for the core characters but not sure how they'd do that - probably a child with mouse head and a jacket that a tail could be clipped to.

We are 10/06 at 7.49pm UK Time and no less than 2368 guests are "visiting" old threads and from what I have checked all different ones...
Could it be that AI bots are revisiting forums to gather some kind of information but what for ?
This is a phenomenon that is affecting PF and Klickywelt in a lesser proportion but not Playclicks.
The same phenomenon affects British Expacts that I visit from time to time.
I wish I was able to find an explanation to this at some point...
Anyway, wishing you all a wonderful summer dear PF Friends

It's odd that Robin Hood has a gold sword but can't afford a new shirt. Surely a practical sword would be more his style.
I like the soldier. I don't have one in light blue (except that admiral some time back), and I have a weakness for klickies in uniform.
The Valentine's man is in desperate need of a Significant Other (or his mother) to tell him that that tie does not go with those pants (trousers for you Brits). The rosy cheeks are kind of cute in the context.
Poor Cupid with his child-sized wings!
Not sure what to make of the fish robot.
The farmer looks good.
The rabbit really need a pocket watch and rabbit feet.
I love the sage.
Why a cucumber?
Is this the first dark-skinned bride? I haven't kept up with the recent sets, but it did take decades.
I don't need an Arabian dancer, but the red color and the printing is lovely. I wouldn't have made her blue-eyed.
Bat fairy - I don't love the heavy makeup or the heart necklace. They could have leaned into the theme more. The dagger seems an odd choice. If you are going to have the advantage of flying, then you'd want to keep your distance with a longer range weapon.
I like the pilot - but yeah, no plane. The red lipstick would have been great if she was a WWII WASP.
The farmer is lovely.
The project manager(?) does need stripes on the arms to complete the suit look.
The mermaid is gorgeous. I don't collect mermaids usually, but I love the koi theme.
I hadn't heard of a wine queen either. I like the grapes because it's a new part (to me). A wine glass would be a nice addition though.
