I was just looking on my list of members online atm and it seems that there are over 2000 guests online. Is that possible?

here is a screenshot :

And when I look at the ip addresses, they are all pretty much the same.
What can I do about that?

Here is another screenshot, look at the ip's

And is there are way to stop that?
And is this harmful for my board?

Edit: even my shoutbox is not refreshing like it should be. I shouted twice and then it shows but when I refresh the page, the shouts that I just made are gone

Seems like the problem is coming from SolidNode.

its just a flood

If I ban that range, will I not risk to lose others to visit too?

It could from solidenode, but I can access solidnode and my cpanel as well.

Edit : what would cause such a flooding?

Whois the IP, if it's not an indexing bot, Ban it. Should solve it.
