It might be linked to the DDOS attacks...Not sure. I randomly checked a few and they have all been from China... Board Link: http://s4.zetaboards.com/Forum_Chat/index/ 85+ guests with similar IPs is just very suspicious to me.

If they're all the same except for the last octet (remember xx.xx.xx.xx), I've seen that happen before. I assumed it's a fudged ISP configuration. Also, not just on my forum. I've seen it happen in my website logs too. Edited by AimeeWilbury, Nov 17 2011, 12:49 AM.

Tom is right I should think they are all bots. I get loads from China. Next time they appear, make a note of the IP and track it using an IP tracing service. It will probably tell you they are all bots.

I used a tracker, it never said it was a bot. |

Oh well then I can't think what else it could be. Loads of IP's all very similar are normally search engines or bots or spiders. Is it a 180 IP by any chance? I get loads and loads of those and they are all bing bot. |

The ones I've had from China didn't say that either. But they acted like bots. |

This happens on Mario Forums every once in a while as well. They seem to be harmless. |

Search bots. Especially if all but the last numbers are the same. I actually ended up opening a support ticket about this a while back, and that was the official answer. ![]() But 85 at once is pretty extreme. I've never had that many on at once. |

That's the reason why I'm bringing it up. 85 is a lot. |

I probably had over 100 at one point. My most on line stat is 117. |
