What are these bot things registered as users?What do they do?Why are they allowed to stay?

Mike

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?

Mike

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.

dont post anything with your full name and phone other than in members only or it can be googled

MIke, The bots have always been here, Just before the members could not see tham, just the admin.

Thanks for the clarification

Mike
