Good morning. The staff at our community at our community recently noticed a steep rise in the amount of guests viewing our board (going from thirty to over one hundred). Is this a known issue already? And is there anything that can be done about the matter? |

It's not a DoS attack. If it was, you wouldn't have access to your board (or the server it's on) at all. It is possible that someone is running a script to send mass amounts of guests to your board. From what I know about it, they won't cause any harm. You can reset your users online stats in Board Statistics in your Admin CP if you'd like, assuming you're concerned about the stats after this "attack". |
