Yahoo slurp! I'm showing over 500 guests, and only 200 or so are legit!

Why is yahoo attacking me? I have hundreds of thousands of posts, and they've been feeding longer then a day now. Shouldn't they have been able to index them all already?

Will they go away?

Its not just you and its not actually a bad thing. My board is still getting hit strong with slurp since this morning. You could always add rules to your robots.txt file if its putting a load on your forum.

Even with 400 users, and 500 "guests" i'm still under 1.0 on my server load.

Its not an issue yet!
