It might be linked to the DDOS attacks...Not sure. I randomly checked a few and they have all been from China...

85+ guests with similar IPs is just very suspicious to me. :glare:

That many at once from the same place?
It's starting to happen again....

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.

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.

Maybe...Just as long as my board isn't effected by these things

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.
