My top three Total Sites By KBytes are all from those three IP addresses. I'm wondering if this is MSNbot or something else? ARIN Whois only tells me it's a Microsoft address. MSNbot is seriously PO'ing me anyway. It keeps hitting up my hackalert page each time it crawls the site.
The only thing that's really annoying about it is that whoever or whatever it is, it's (seemingly) on my site for hours at a time in the forums resulting in long lists of 'guests' in the visitor list." unquote
then there is this guy who keeps trying to get on too here is part of a post to donnie and the other mods quote" persistent little mutha LOL.. you got to check out the email of our newest member, it is the same IP as the other guys but the email.. I am still blushing.....
