Bowob floods report logs such as Recent Hits with things like "/bowob_sync/12010/YDMjlrvv6XIOhdt7va9ZjeGo71QySPTRtFaO7GkcD31Vfu3LEb"
I have an IP constantly accessing my site on every pageload and upping the hits. For every organic hit it will give me another 2. (3 to 1) and when I banned that IP for fear of being attacked I realized it was coming from Bowob. The IP is "62.193.204.5"

bowob commentedThat is done for synchronize the chat login data with bowob server.
When the chat will be displayed, your website says bowob (/bowob_sync/) that the nickname is "xxxx" and that is a "registered user".
