Do you use their servers, or have bought a domain from them? Because that would be the only reason I can think of for them to spend so much time on your forum.

I bought my domain from forumotion and they also host my site, so I don't know why they are on my site so much ?
Cheers

Your guests are using a proxy to view your forum.
FDC is Hidemyass I think.

Don't think it would be Forumotion as there IP would be in France and if they did come to your forum it would be something to do with breaking the ToS or looking to see if there is any bugs in the forum. If you feel that you don't trust this user just ban the IP.

it looks like it's some kind of spamming or somthing.
if they are there just as guest i would keep an eye out to make sure they dod not spam?
dunno heres what i found on google.
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=0&oq=FDCservers.net+&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4SUNA_enUS239US239&q=fdcservers.net+spam
oh yeah i would keep an eye on these guy's for sure.
i have been reading some stuff.. it's sounds like they are some sort of trogen spammer or something.. i will read more tomarrow.. there are also alot of tracking sites i came across too.. for looking up ip,domains and trcking them..
so i am not sure what to make of it.. just keep an eye out and if they post something be sure to block there ip.

Hi can someone who knows look at the pic below and tell me what it means, the reason I'm asking is because I need to know if this is how a proxy works? I am in the uk and as you can see the lines run from Bulgaria to the USA and there is also another line that is hooked onto it? , but I don't see any line running to the uk
Cheers
There are so many Ip's that FDC use I don't think I would have enough time to ban all of them ? isn't there a way Forumotion can do something?
Cheers

i am beginning to think it's some sort of Trojan spam bot or something like that.
i have been reading a lot on it and it seems to be some sort of bot.
Not 100% sure but who or what ever it is dose not seem to be up to any good for what i have been reading so far.. if it is a bot it cant get into your forum and only gather information that is available to guest.. it has no way of gaining ip addresses.. although it could be possible that if members have there email address to be displayed and these members post on boards that guest have access too. then it may be possible that they can gather any info in there profiles..
but like i said i am not sure. i would not go panicking over anything yet.. just be sure to keep them on your radar.
i mean most of what i have read is all the same stuff just says where there ip ar coming from.. so i am really not sure what to think.

Thanks Kirk I will just have to keep blocking their ip's until I have all of them I would have thought that we could have just blocked FDC and that would have been the end but its not hat simple ?
Thank you again
Thank you again
