Oh christ... lmao... You did find the active users page though didn't you? I remember those posts came up when the page went MIA to most of the members.

Yeah, it's not that easy to find... they kinda hide it.

If you click on the text WHO IS ONLINE at the bottom of the page it takes you there.

That's the Yahoo Search engine indexing our site. Google also does it. They only have access to what we allow. Any potentially sensitive sections are not index by search engines.

We don't know but he keeps coming back with his friend Google[Bot] and we don't know how to stop them.

We think it's an invasion by the Internet[Bot] people! :lol:

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of the 'Transformers' with their 'autobots'. It's been playing all month on TMN so I have Transformers on the brain...plus Mikaela's HOT!

Good catch... I have now restricted bot access to the premium users sections. (most were already set up this way, I missed a couple sections)

That one is okay, as Registered members can read there anyways. Might attract some new users that way. :thumbup:
