All right, what’s the deal? We’re being overrun with bots. I know why AdSense is here. But where did -

Googlebot
MSN Bot
Yahoo! Bot

- come from? Are they supposed to be here? There are more bots than people! Run!

It's the future. More machines than people. Get used to it.

But seriously, I wanna know why they're here also.


Matt.

I noticed that to. They are going to eat our cyber souls!!!!

Oh dear...that can't be good.

-Rubix

This is why I cleverly choose to have no cyber soul.

It's a lifestyle choice. Finally paying off. Woot.



Matt.

I purchased my cyber soul a few weeks ago. On the package it said "Do not activate if bot-like systems are running within 5 cyber feet."

I failed to listen and now I will pay the price.

Oh it was so obvious! With today's technology, something like this was BOUND to happen! Robots have finally taken over the world!

*Sighs* Well, it was fun living here. Everyone take your suicide pills. Remember to drink a full glass of water.

Sean

The way it was explained to me is that they are archiving for search engines. Google, Adsense, MSN and Yahoo all have search engines. It is something along those lines.

Just a lot of smoke and mirrors.

This afternoon I removed the robot.txt file that prohibited search engines from indexing the discussion board.  These bots index the discussion board so that pertinent  queries will show up in search sites like MSN, Yahoo and Google.  In short, more people will see the scripts on the site.  

A good thing, I hope.

Don

I've seen bots of similar names on other forums, and what I've been told is that they appear on the online list when someone from the respective search engine comes to this website.  Of course, I have been lied to many, many times before.

On another note, Breanne, your avatar is steamy hot!  My goodness!

Quoted from Don A good thing, I hope.

We shall see, human.


MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA


Phil

oh no, the bots have corrupted Don! The end is near!

Do we have to be nice to them just because they're members?

If they mention scripts they've written that are not on this site, I'm gonna be mad!!!

I fear if Don--yes, THE Don--can conform to evil, there is no hope for humanity.

Hey Don, that’s a very good reason. Thanks.

Quoted from greg …Breanne, your avatar is steamy hot!  My goodness!

Really? Thanks. I wish I could say it was me…wait….err…I mean,….it’s me!

Quoted from Breanne Mattson Really? Thanks. I wish I could say it was me…wait….err…I mean,….it’s me!

You have a big crack in your face.

Quoted from Shelton You have a big crack in your face.

Okay,…uh…it’s not me! Oh, I don’t know if it’s me or not anymore! I’m so confused right now.

Hey fellas, long time Don isn't the same guy anymore8)

Btw, Brea, I suggest you look for this guy here: DR. GUN BULLET - THERAPIST OF
BULL'S-EYES (& SIMPLYSCRIPTERS!)

Quoted from The boy who could fly I'm gonna kick one of these Bots in the ass pretty soon, wherever I am there is one there, it's like they are following me, and I dun like that!

Adsesne always follows me! I swear! I'm not paranoid!

Something just occurred to me, Don. With all these bots gathering information, are our individual posts going to turn up in searches. For example, if someone types "Willy Wonka” into a search engine, are they going to get a hit with Mike Shelton’s signature?


Breanne

Well, it looks like Helio, Jordan, Breanne, James, Bert, Zack, and I have joined the ranks of the robots. Attack!

Well, Baht, is it you or isn't it?!
