TCSS Bot Watch

[987654321a]

hey tim i was wondering whats this new googlebot thats on the online users? did you just add that? it seems very very suspicious.

[Strydur]

OMG!!!! Googlebot!! oh no!!!

Thats google indexing our forums..Thats a good thing :D

[xwingband]

It's a googlebot... it's trolling the forums for stuff to add to their search engine. That's why if you try clicking it there's no profile.

It's actually interesting to see on the mod/admin control panel because it shows it going through the forums.

EDIT: Dang it! You beat me Tim... :cry:

[987654321a]

OH NOOOO we are all gonna die!!!!!!!!!! lol sorry i just thought it was something harmful since its a bot.

[Tenric Starkindler]

Googlebot is a good thing. It means TCSS has made it's mark!
give the 'bot a few days and i'l bet a search for "Custom Saber" or "MHS" shows TCSS in the top 5 hits of the search.

WHen My site picked up Googlebot 2 years ago we had a surge in visitors and new members.

[Strydur]

The bots have been here. I just made them show themselves :D

[Lord Maul]

i was wonderin bout that too. now this site will get even more retarded n00bs :( :D

[Firebird21]

Glass...

Stones...




Bad combination. :wink:

[meiv4]

glass...

Walking around naked...

an equally bad combination.

[Ryma Mara]

Noobs, Glass, stones, Walking around naked...Iam so confused as to whats being talked about now..

[DACOTA]

now this site will get even more retarded n00bs :( :D

AHHHH its the end of the world,I mean tcss forum,thats not as dramatic as world.

[elrond.406]

Noobs, Glass, stones, Walking around naked...Iam so confused as to whats being talked about now..

[elrond.406]

Wow. That googlebot's been online for a long time now. I wonder if it's tired... :(

[elrond.406]

sorry for the double post, but....
OMG! A second google bot just spawned on the forum!!!:o
The first one was friendly, what about this one? Is it hostile? :(
:P :lol:

[Jedi-Loreen]

Why would 'bot get tired? http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/rolleye0001.gif



Man, I need to just stop reading your posts, till you actually post something worth reading. http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/rolleye0009.gif

But sometimes it's like driving past and accident site, even though it could be a horrible thing to see, you just have to look. http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/scared0015.gif

[elrond.406]

So sorry you have to deal with reading my posts Jedi-Lo :(

FYI, I was being sarcastic. I'm usually on most of the afternoon and get bored since I finish my homework early. :)

[Jedi Belinos]

And to think I am going back to school so that I can teach kids his age.

Waves hand at mirror, You want to go home and rethink your life.

I'll talk to you guys later I'm going home and rethinking my life.

[elrond.406]

sorry for the double post, but....
OMG! A second google bot just spawned on the forum!!!:o
The first one was friendly, what about this one? Is it hostile? :(
:P :lol:

....and now there's one bot again...guess they switched places so the other one could have a rest...I need one too....imma sleepyhead...i'll rethink my life while I'm at it too...

Never heard of lycos OR ask.com...

[Ryma Mara]

I used them quite abit in school. I dont think google was even around then.

Ask.com is very helpfull for alot of things.

[Lord Maul]

i hate ask.com
i'd take google or yahoo any day over ask

[Ryma Mara]

actualy 7times out of 10 I find what iam looking for at ask or msn. google usually has to much of the same thing all the time and I have to go thru 80 pages just to get anywhere near what iam looking for.

[elrond.406]

1 googlin' bot right now :?

[elrond.406]

Alexa?

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/vader406/alexabot.jpg

[987654321a]

hahah, thats exactly what i saw.

[xwingband]

Alexa is not really known as a search engine. It's well known for it's traffic ratings though.

[Ryma Mara]

So it seems the google bots are gonna gang up on MSN and steal his girl alexa.

[elrond.406]

So it seems the google bots are gonna gang up on MSN and steal his girl alexa.

As long as he does it here and stays out of trouble, who cares? :wink:

[Lord Maul]

well, CD, you're the one who started this thread :roll:
most people don't even read this anymore so does it really matter if he postwhores on it?
if it gets too bad then X will just make his post count eternally one :wink:

[elrond.406]

I'll limit to three (3) announcements in a row, kay? :wink:

[elrond.406]

Msn has brought in reinforcements...

[Lord Maul]

nobody post here again, that way elrond will only be able to make three more posts about the bots :twisted:

[vortextwist]

if he post's here maybe he will leave the others alone

[Lord Maul]

yeah, right
nimrod loves the taste of his foot, he wouldn't give that up for anything

[vortextwist]

You have a point

[elrond.406]

Google is alone now...

[elrond.406]

Now another MSN & google came, so 2 googles & one msn. 8)

[elrond.406]

They were evenly matched, but now google has won. :P Take that MSN!

Hey, I wonder, can these indexing bots post? I think I saw msn in the cantina a while back...

Those bots shouldn't be able to read a private message, should they?! They are supposed to be private, afterall.

And I must agree with Ryma, this thread is pointless now.

HAHAHA thats awsome.

[goldsaberwarrior]

Seriously what does that thing do?

[elrond.406]

The bots index the forum to its search engine, so you can find posts on the search engine. For example: http://www.google.com/search?q=goldsaberwarrior&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

[elrond.406]

Google Bot spotted!

Hey DM, doesn't goldie's multiple smiley-only posts remind you of Nimrod? :lol:

Googlebot spoted. I think it's following me. lol :lol: . I wonder how much longer it'll be here.

That's what is shows when they are just registering, too.

Don't ask me how 'bots can regitster, but they can. That's how they are able to post their SPAM on the message boards.

You've seen their SPAM, so you should know they can post. Those aren't real people doing that.

How do we all know we aren't bots posting. Creepy that bots can do all that aint it.

[DarthFender]

That real world will get ya. That's why we get old. All the stress starts to make you feel old. That's probably why we still play with our toys. Ours are just more expensive and more sophisticated than the ones we used to play with.

When I retire, I think I will do this full time, even if I lose money at it. Then other people on my block will say about me:

"That wizard's just a crazy old man!"

It seems as if the bot have lost interest in these forums?
