I said "a strange user-agent string for something legit"; it's odd
(strange) to choose a string that obscures what your program is
actually for by claiming to be IE 6, unless you are up to no good.

Because it's only the phpBB site that's being accessed in this way,
it's probably something phpBB-specific. It could be a mobile client
that does something unusual (although it's a strange user-agent string
