Reported it to my hosting company but they didn't know much more that I did. I added entries to robots.txt and also used the robots/spiders entries in phpbb as well as blocking some of the common IP ranges that it was showing. But even then I was often seeing 6 or 7 anonymous entries in "Who's online".
So reported possible abuse to AmazonAWS and slowly the traffic dropped off and now I'm not seeing any (but then I don't spend all my time monitoring who is online!).
I'm assuming they had a runaway web crawler or someone was abusing their services ..
