Yes. This was me. I talked to the site admins and had Rainmeter unblocked. Apologies. I didn't see this until a month or so ago.
The problem has been fixed.
Droptop Four was pinging both the location and weather service every third of an hour. It now only pings the weather service (Google).
In the future, if there is an insane number of webparser pings happening at specific times, it's probably me. We've got thousands of concurrent users now, and I'm fairy sure Droptop is the most popular Rainmeter suite atm by a fairly wide margin.
I've also added a specific UserAgent that identifies all pings as Droptop pings for future diagnosis.
