Default Spiders and Bots

Just thought I'd throw out some info...

Many of the guests you see as part of the "Who's Online" section are indeed guests, but some of them are also "spiders and bots"...

These are websites (Google & Yahoo are the 2 biggies, but there are tons of 'em) that index our forum and add them to their search pages...They send their spiders and bots to our forum to gather info on the forum and display it on their pages...

Some of you probably knew this already, but I came across something that puts it more into perspective...

A member created a post at 1:53 this morning...

Here it is only 4 hours later and it's been picked up on Technorati-Japan's website. (wow!)...

Yep. That's what I was thinking. Dust off those old arguments and charge!
