    See alot of visitors, or is VBForums getting hits from bots & AI web scrapers?

    Has anyone checked the IP addresses to see if they're almost similar with a couple of digits difference, and if any match the IP addresses of known bots and scrapers?

    In short - the entire country of Brazil is being blocked due to their rather large presence.
