BUT... (Again)

Im only getting bots that id previously sent out... And it says 4 sims are online! What gives?

EricL:
First, welcome to the forum De-Maskus.

Second, my apologies for the IM bug.  As I describe in the bug you posted, my testing of the new species forking feature exposed this bug in older versions that could not handle large numbers of species.  This should be fixed in 2.43.1m which is out now.  Give it a try and I'll see you in internet mode.

Third, you may see the sim count in IM be larger than the number of sims currently running.  When someone shuts down their IM sim (or gets disconnected due to the connection bug) I don't if they have gone away for 10 minutes or 10 days so inactive sims are kept in the population count for a period of time in case they come back. It takes somewhere between 24 and 48 hours for inactive sims to be removed from the population and sim count.  You can tell which sims are actively running by watching the Internet Sim Populations graph.  Inactive sims will show a flat line over time.  The population should fluctuate for active, running sims.

Hello and welcome.
I don't know about newer versions (I tend to stick to slightly outdated versions that I know are stable   ), but usually DB tends to crash every now and again, so leaving a computer running all by itself might work as well as you want it to.
