Craig 6682 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 It's the google web spider. What it's doing is sifting through the threads on the forum so that it can build up a search profile for the google search engine. Therefore if in a couple of weeks, you opened Google and searched for "That bloody Robot!", it would return a link to this thread in it's search results. By default, the software is set to show the spider being visible and I decided to leave it like that for the time being so that we knew when it had started 'looking around'. I can make it invisible if its freaking people out though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 does it mean that all our posts will be held in the bloody google machine for 20 years !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 It'll calm down after a while - when Google first finds a site it goes a bit mad figuring out how busy the site is. Once google figures out it's a forum it may well give it a low priority - the current algorithm doesn't rate forums very highly. You can also ban the bot very easily if you want to keep things nice and cosy for local people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 The title of the thread sounds like it should be a really poor sitcom.
