Mike, The bots are from places like google that go through sites pulling info so when people do searches they come up. It is my understanding they dont hurt or hinder us or anything so that is why they are left alone.

Data miners can't be good! We didn't have them with the old format did we?

The google bot is needed to do the search.

They don't mine data, they just index it to make searches faster. I worry more about users that join, but never post.
