MikeCottTrials Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 can anyone tell me why sometimes if you look at the users that are browsing on the main page of T-F it says google.com in black, ive done a search on members and there are no members by that name the only thing i could think of is people are searching for T-F on google and for some reason its drawing up the main page under that name but again why would it display it as google.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomturd Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Um, thats google 'spidering' our pages. Its a bot that goes around and collects information about all the pages, then stores the info in the google database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCottTrials Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 how come it has a username if its not registered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 The forum knows the IP's of all the spiders.. if it finds anyone browsing the forum with one of the 'bot' IPs it adds the bot to the online list. The other main one is the Inktomi spider.. which is for Yahoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomturd Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Its not... those figures arent genuine. Its cos those bots we've been talking about occasionally swarm the forum, from about 100 seperate IPs, so the forum thinks theres 100 extra guests online. Thats also why I reset it every now and then. I think the highest genuine figure is ~280. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
