Admin Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Hmm... at least the record looks better now! I figured it out. Seems our forums are being crawled now by Search Engine Spiders, who are indexing stuff into search engines. I have now exterminated them. Might take a couple of days to block them but they'll go away. :mischief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Search engines send out "spiders" and index the web. They came to this forum last night but now they won't come back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 they were just friendly little 'spiders' what did they ever do to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 they were just friendly little 'spiders' what did they ever do to you? yea Admin But why were these spiders sent in the first place or was it for no reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 But why were these spiders sent in the first place or was it for no reason? I guess we were randomly selected to be indexed, but I don't want that due to it leading to tons of hits. Sometimes massive amounts of hits can be a bad thing... on my wallet. :mischief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgator Posted February 1, 2003 Author Share Posted February 1, 2003 But why were these spiders sent in the first place or was it for no reason? Don't you remember the movie 'Lost In Space'??

cgator Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 Stop being so proud son, consider it like a video rental. You are letting everyone put their 2 cents in on the board, why not let them put their 2 cents into the board. 365 days x .02 = $7.30. Multipy that by about 80 or 90 (I'm compensating for Das having 20 names ) and you can really be raking it in. And than you can get Sally Struthers to advertise for you: "For just pennies a day........" Okay, I went off the deep end there. My check is now in the mail :deal later........
