Re: Yahoo Bot
Yahoo [Bot] is apparently a registered user but has not yet made any posts. I always thought that the forums were no longer navigable by search engines.

Re: Yahoo Bot
We have just let the search engines back in again and will carefully monitor how it goes. Partially influenced by a post of yours, Petermax, as you said in one of your posts that you originally found these forums during a search.

In a discussion we had about Bots once before, Matt wrote:
AnitaMing is right, bots are spammers. However, the ones you saw browsing the forums are actually search engine bots indexing our site: Google, Yahoo, MSN, and the like. This is how websites are found and included in search listings.
