Hi,

I keep getting this guest with the same IP when I log in, but if I go to my board and stay as a guest it isn't there. Are there any specific numbers to look for to tell if its a bot? Thanks ;D

Try looking up the IP by using www.dnsstuff.com/
Use the Reverse DNS Lookup. I believe Googlebots Ip's start with 64 or 66, but I cant remember for sure.


Edit: I have a googlebot on my board right now:

66.xxx.xx.xxx PTR record: crawl-66-xxx-xx-xxx.googlebot.com. [TTL 86400s]
