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

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:
Ming 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.

So they were 'Good Bots' rather than 'bad Bots'?! :lol:

Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
