Thanks Paul! That does make things a little clearer.
I understand now why spiders that come from the same IP will only be counted once, even if they come back multiple times within 24 hours.
I still have a little bit of a puzzle with spiders though: About an hour ago 6 Slurp spiders were showing on my board. They were all from different IPs. Yet the guest stats show that only 3 Slurp spiders have visited in the past 24 hours. So, is this because vBulletin classifies some of these (despite the unique IPs) as 'the same' guest? No way around this I suppose?
