Guest sciondrgn Posted June 28, 2008 Most of the "guests" are more then likely bots/spiders. For some reason with this software it has them doing all sorts of actions. There was a plug in I used at one time that would label them with what they really are. ie. "Google Spider, Yahoo Spider" So forth and so forth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest sciondrgn Posted June 28, 2008 Yes thats basically what they do. They crawl websites for information. Its hard to totally get rid of them but you can limit what the guest profile is allowed to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay2703 704 Posted June 29, 2008 I think you are all a little paranoid! Just don't post (or add to your profile) anything you don't want anyone else to see. I think that if you have to be logged in to see posts it would keep a lot of new people from joining our fantastic forum. I know when I go to other forums it's nice to be able to poke around without filling out all the profile information first. Sometimes you just want to read what is there.

Guest fivestar Posted June 29, 2008 There's a way for nobody other then admins and mods to "see" you. As for the guests online, like someone else said, they are probably spiders and bots just indexing the pages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
