Has the MSN spider gone crazy on my site?

(1/1)

ApplianceJunk:
Looking at the page view for our site today I notice we have just about double our normal page views for the day.
We normal have been seeing around 25,000 page views a day, but we have already reached 50,000 page views today.

I looked at our spider logs and see that MSN already has 29,112 page views on our site for today.

Most of the time Google is the spider with the most page views and it's usually just a couple thousand page view for the day.

Why do you think the MSN spider has been so active on our site today?
Seems even the Google spider has really been active on our site today compare to other days.

Tonyvic:
I noticed it on my site too! ???
Page views for MSN is usually only a few hundred, but today is 17,539 :o Goggle is about the usual amount.

ApplianceJunk:
Same thing today with MSN. I would think this is a good thing, right?

ChalkCat:
It's just started going crazy on mine too!  Yesterday I had 17 instances of MSN in the who's online at one point.  Even now there are 10 MSN bots browsing!  Why has it suddenly appeared and why is it making such a nuisance of itself?  It will calm down, right?

Yoshi:
I suppose it's in control of Microsoft, maybe they've changed something with the bot or something.
