Bots?
« on: January 12, 2014, 04:41:31 pm »
Forum Url: www.politikalculture.com
Since my forum isn't popular (*sniff*), I haven't been purchasing many ad free credits. In the past couple of week, however, the credits are being eaten up by what I'll assume to be bots? I have at least 170 "visitors" at any time of the day.

Is this good or bad? Should I buy more ad free credits? Help!

What type of bots. I believe we do not count spiders as bots.

I honestly don't know the difference. Here's the IP from one of them:

Will add it to the list to block.
