Warlock Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hello All, Second dumb question of the day. First on Speccy earlier. I noticed that Yahoo and Google seem to have a permanent seat at the User's Table. Are they continually plugged in monitoring the Forum and for what reason? Will check back in a few days to see if any replies. Thanks and have a good day. Warlock If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching or cool one pain, or help one fainting robin unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.

Moderators Andavari Posted September 4, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 4, 2011 From what I know they're just indexing it for their search engines, no different than any other forum. Albeit it is strange to see them as a logged in member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Google, Yahoo, Baidu, Bing, Yandex etc are search robots trolling through posts belonging to the forum. They appear in the userlist as recognised bots but not as user accounts since you cannot click on them. Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlock Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi All, Thanks for the replies on Google and Yahoo. Just my curious nature at work. Hope everybody is having a good holiday.
