Bots on the Forum?!?
I just noticed on the "active users list" a user called Google [Bot],is this some kind of spambot, or is it something that joe already knows about and has allowed? I'm just wondering because I've seen other forums get invaded by spambots. I wouldn't want it happening here. Also, I colored the text as close to the color of the username as I could.

I think [Google bot] Is on every forum, and google uses it to search better, because I've seen it on other game forums ectera.
Re: Bots on the Forum?!?
there was already a thread about this, apparently the Google and Yahoo [Bot]s update their search engines by coming here
Woof.

There was? I looked around, but I didn't see anything like it.
Anyway, glad it's not dangerous or anything.

Yup, this thread has been made already. Moving to forum questions.
Re: Bots on the Forum?!?
this thread was the closest to the top of the problem/suggestions part of the forum and the topic i have is related to it so:
there now seems to be a "Baidu [Spider]" bot visiting our forums, i do not recall this bot at any other forums i browse so any idea what its for? it also doesn't seem to represent any major search engines so anyone know what it's for?

Its a Major Japanese Search Engine.
The following statement is true. The previous statement is false.
'Poison' is such a harsh word. I prefer 'Potion of Shut the Hell Up.

Re: Bots on the Forum?!?
that explains one question but leaves several others (why would a japanese search engine bot be gathering info on a forum using english as the default language and why would a japanese search engine need info about the forum anyways)
Woof.
Re: Bots on the Forum?!?
Well, I can awnser the second question anyway. We're just that amazing.
