Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots

Last year, just for fun, I created a single index.php website calculating HEX colors to RGB. It takes 3 and 6 digit notation (ie. #c00 and #cc0000) and converts it to RGB value. No database, just single .php file, converting values on the fly.

It's little over a year old and now every day there's 60k-100k bots visiting and crawling the shit out of two-trillion-something sub pages...

I am out of ideas what to do with this site. I mean, it's probably one of the largest websites on the Internet, if counted by sub-pages...

What cool experiment/idea/stuff should I do/try with this website?

I'm sure AI could be (ab)used somehow here... :)
