Ok, So I am getting about 10 visitors per days from the keywords powered by vbulletin 4.01 or a slight variation everyday. At first I was concerned it was bots possibly looking to exploit bugs they know about in 4.01. I havn't noticed any trouble that would suggest my site ahs been exploited, but I'm wondering if anyone else gets so many visitors like that, and why. Is it something I should be concerned with?

one of those might have been me - i used that as a search to find other boards using 4.0 so i could see what others had done with it.

I didn't mention it in my first post, but that was my other thought. Simply people are trying to see what VB4 boards look like in the wild. Right now mine is the stock 4.0 style. I was using a style from vb.org on 4.0 and then when 4.01 came out it broke the style. So I reverted back to the stock style and after 4.02 is released and I can be confident that there won't be a another update 3 weeks later that will break any new styles, I will be looking to pay someone for a custom skin.
