My forum is private, and only members can log in to see content. But look at this image, this worries me...




What to do, and how could this happen?

nothing to worry about. Guest can see your board index, but whit the message they has to log in / register

Well, its not like that. Icreated a forum which says "Forum Disabled" which means that they have to login. But the members category is still visible as well as the calendar and profile.


After disabling the domain, waiting for ten minutes, and reenabled the domain, the bots were gone.

What's your worry? Being cracked? Too many coming on at once and crashing the server? There's no real worry at hundreds of bots coming on.
