MrMeanGreen Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 it means a google spider was creating a pm to you and Anthony said he wanted to know what it said. BINGO! I'm wondering how the fuck it creates one and what it will say. They're automaton webcrawlers that go acros the internet pulling info. That's how search engines get their search info when you wanna see something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excell Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 It's not actually making a message, it's following every link it finds. It found the PM link for Jason and was following it. Then it will follow every link on the PM page and so-on. It's making a map of the entire internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 They can register on websites, post messages, and PM people. So yeah, it's possible a bot was doing said action. We're lucky CR is a private forum, I was just curious was all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I fucking hate spam bots. There is a way using a text file on the root of the drive to prevent the bot from hitting pages you don't want it to hit. If interested i will look it up.

Its an xml file named sitemap.xml. You can specify the pages you want crawled, and you can specify the pages to be excluded. Search bots follow this. Its a standard for all search engines. However, spam bots obviously do not follow this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
