I have been noticing a lot of guests "which i dont think are legit guests" might be some bots or something.

There are currently 62 users online. 2 members and 60 guests.

But i dont think there are around 60 bots, so what do you think is happening?

Maybe they are spider bots. Sometime they come in great numbers. Do they come from the same ip range?

[nishant.soni]

around 20 of them were from 125.66.xx.x so i guess they were bots. But others were just RANDOM IPs!

Are they coming at specific times or after you do certain things? I've noticed that immediately after I tweet a link, the bots descend on my site in droves. I have had some problems with particular bots always being around the site and looking like they are up to no good. After doing WHOIS searches on the IP addresses, I decided that for my site I had no reason to continue to allow them to come around and try to access prohibited areas, which is what they were doing. I just banned those particular IPs at the server level. Problem solved.
