I don't know why, but since few days, I see a lot of guest on my statistic on forum.php page, under "Who Is Online" box. The hidden and registerd are ok, but not guest. I have my hosting statistic to compare it, and I can see that total guest are exaggerateds!
Where can be the problem? I try to clean cache and optimize database, but seems that it don't be enough......

I have found this problem in the moment in which, however, I have inhibited the registrations to the Forum. In this way I have seen to leaven the visits of the Guests from the normal 100's daily to around 900 of daily average. The IPs of the Guests were different the one from the other and different also from Registrated Users (This to make you understand that they were not of the Ghosts of the Users).

The Everything has returned normal in the moment in which I have reactivated the registrations to the Forum.

For the time being the problem it is in phase of resolution.

Questo problema l'ho riscontrato anche io nel momento in cui, però, ho inibito le iscrizioni al Forum. In questo modo ho visto lievitare le visite dei Guests dai canonici 100 giornalieri a circa 900 di media giornaliera. Gli IP dei Guests erano diversi l'uno dall'altro e diversi anche da quelli posseduti dagli Users iscritti (Questo per farti capire che non erano dei Ghosts degli Iscritti stessi).

Il Tutto è tornato normale nel momento in cui ho riattivato le iscrizioni al Forum.

Per il momento il problema è in fase di risoluzione.

cYa All.

I don't have inhibited the registrations to the Forum, so I don't think that problem is in it. And the statistic of my hoster are really different now, when before were the same. Now I have 600-700 guest visit at day and before 200-250. But these visits are only shown on forum statistic, and I don't understand where can be the problem... :(

I think I find the problem: the Yahoo Slurp Bot

Guest:
IP: 74.6.72.90 » Whois || Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp)

is not on the see as bot, but as a guest. I have a lot of visits from him, so I have a lot of guest visitor on index that are not real visitors.
It is possible to add the Yahoo Slurp to the bot list?
