All Over My forum's for Hours

[epic1231]

hey all i did a bit of research and realize this is a spider bot - but it is going on days now that i'm finding 10-20 of these ip's on my forum's.. It is at least 3 days now and it changes numbers everytime i refresh. For one instance i had 3 of them on - refreshed the site and i had 14. Is this normal to have them hang around the forum's this long for a few days now?

Is this spider accessing the same pages over and over, or is it pulling a large number of different pages. The first behaviour would be unusual but the second would be normal.

Slurp likes to follow links, so it might just be spidering your very large site.

they left last night - they seemed to be just hanging in the forum's, they had indexed the whole site but were just in the forums.. But i added some of my other sites to my forum's and within a little while they were indexed by them also so they were just looking for some more info from my site i guess..
