The Seeker 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 I just noticed something else... when you click on Online, there's Member Info, Visitor Info and Search Bot Info... so the visitors are real people now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Levis 6 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 Why do bots keep emailing/viewing posts? Who do the emailed posts go to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 the bots are from Search engines... they crawl the pages and index them for their sites (google, yahoo etc.)... maybe they're using the email option for that purpose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 But they keep printing stuff too, and I don't think they really do that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 ... or maybe they automatically try every link they come across Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farin 2 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 it's the right terminology though sometimes they're called Bot, sometimes "(web)Crawler", "Spider"... oh and the one from yahoo is called "Slurp" just imagine these nice little fellows from the Matrix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonJonSurfer 15 Report post Posted December 10, 2007 "b-o-t" is a great word if you are a Scrabble or Boggle player...I think the definition has something to do with a bot fly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2007 I've got a question about Buddy Requests... I got a buddy request a few minutes ago, and the person who sent it included a message with it. I accepted it, the buddy request message disappeared (as it should), but there was immediately a new PT, apparently started by me, containing the message from the other person in such a way that it looked like I sent that message and the PT. I reenacted that with Martin just now, he sent me a request, I accepted it, and suddenly there was a PT from me to him, just saying "This user would like to be added to your user list", even though it was him who sent the request in the first place. Can this feature be changed or switched off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted December 13, 2007 for me this seems to be a "feature for the feature's sake" I mean I could live with an automatically generated PT when you have a new Buddy... but really, if I want to be a Buddy with someone I have generally already talked with him/her and quite probably already have a PT open so is there really the need for a new one? but especially the (random?) opening message is a bit strange... "This user would like to be added to your user list" is at least clearly an automatically written message (aside from the logical flaw that 1. he already IS in the other's list and 2. the other person sent the request in the first place) but the other message Fin told me about: "HI, I'm new here and just want to make some friends" is just... weird just my two cents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2007 No but I think the other person sent that message to me, together with the buddy request.. but now it looks like I sent it, which is a bit stupid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted December 13, 2007 ah okay, I got that wrong... in that case it's not only weird, but a bug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 21 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Aaack. Didn't notice the quote box. I rejiggers the sidebar, and am hoping it shows up again soon. The quotes are all still there, it's just a display issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
