The Seeker 0 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share 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? Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 hey cool, I haven't noticed that yet Link to post Share on other sites
Levis 6 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Why do bots keep emailing/viewing posts? Who do the emailed posts go to? Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 But they keep printing stuff too, and I don't think they really do that Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 ... or maybe they automatically try every link they come across Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 the bots are from Search engines... they crawl the pages this all sounds terribly sinister somehow. Like a bad science fiction flick. Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

RonJonSurfer 15 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share 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? Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 ah okay, I got that wrong... in that case it's not only weird, but a bug Link to post Share on other sites
Super Ry 71 0 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hey! I just noticed this, but the "Current Quote Box" is gone! Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 22 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
