Thousands of guests at the same time???
I have a very strange problem and I was hoping one of you could give me some pointers to help me figure out what is going on.
For the last 3 weeks I have been getting huge amounts of guests that come at the exact same time. It started out with 500, and now it's at 2300. I believe that they all are phantoms. I just don't know how or why??? Here are the facts. 1. They all come at the exact same time. 2. They all have unique IP Address's 3. They all divide up into differn't threads. Some threads get more than others. 4. They don't appear to be moving around. 5. No vbulletin utilities register them as being there except for "Users currently online". The other addons that I installed for advanced satistics never register them. 6. No webtrend type programs show any spikes in visitors. "Other software" 7. Only happens on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 8. I cannot duplicate this with any Hack that pads a user numbers "FAKE USER". If you have any Ideas, I sure would like to know. I'm using version 3.7.4 now, but it did it with 3.7.3 as well.

Thats a bit odd
Taking a wild stab in the dark it sounds like a scheduled task is running at a specific time and it is doing some odd with user stats. Have a look around what task you have running when it spikes, it might also be worth putting the no plugins setting into config.php when it is spiking to see if it kills the spike. If it is then the problem is with a mod. What sort of caching are you using?

Actually, sounds like spiders.
Usually they're good, but they can be nasty buggers at times. I've witnessed that Yahoo spiders like to travel in swarms, among others.

I forgot to mention also, when the User threashold time limit is up, they all leave. Thats how I know they are not moving around. The IP address span the whole world, but mostly America. That is the biggest worry I have, every single one of them has a unique IP address. Not one of IP's was used by any of my members, and no proxies. Sometimes they come 2 and 3 times. for an example, 2300 guests will come at 1:31pm and leave at 2:31pm. --------------- Added [DATE]1233964042[/DATE] at [TIME]1233964042[/TIME] --------------- Quote:
Everyone has differn't IP address's which include valid hostipals, schools, companies, etc.

could it be google crawl's? i know this is sometimes done weekly rather than monthly as advertised by google.
their bot's scrawl the internet picking up all new info for the google index's.
