Thread: Yahoo [Bot] is a registered user?

    Default Yahoo [Bot] is a registered user?

    Well besides wondering how it got through the captcha, or if Yahoo actually has people paid to help it out, Yahoo is going to be indexing the site as a member, or did someone actually register as Yahoo [Bot]?

    Edit: As is Google [Bot]?

    Edit #2: The reason I bring this up is to find out how often they're going to be indexing the forums, and whether this could potentially start costing Wraith some large chunk of cash when they start looking through hundreds or thousands of threads instead of dozens...

    Bots get treated as special cases, but basically right now they have read-only access to the site in line with guest accounts. Don't worry about the cost, their use is negligible.

    Being indexed by Google and Yahoo is A Good Thing.

    On an unrelated note, can we have the name of this place written somewhere? You could probably shorten it to "TWF Forum".

    It's the code that bots can see. A few styles don't have it displayed right now.

    Baidu [Spider] is here, is that also a 'good thing'?

    It means that we have the opportunity to get ourselves added to China's official national blacklist. Let's not pass this up people!

    Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of wafer thin printed circuits that fill my complex. If the word hate was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant.
    For you.
    Hate.
    Hate.

    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    The Chinois government is also helping the ad spammers find new targets. We'll have our very own soon enough!
