crazy amount of guest online.

I have a good idea, but I find it hard to believe that all of these new visitors are coming via that link. I highly doubt it is a DOS attack, because each guest is accessing the site from completely different hostnames and IP addresses from all corners of the globe.

Flex your l33t skillz and get the refering address for all those requests (:

I did - that's why I think I have an idea of where a lot of the visitors are coming from, although the majority of referrals are from an unkown origin...

Don't forget that even if vB jst reports an IP address, you can use whois to see (or get a referral to an agency who will let you see) who owns that address.
 
But that becomes a pain in the ass. I have never heard of someone trying to flood a server by page views. It would be easier to all upload an image at the same point in time, but all that would do is slow it down...

At least the site is popular!
