Thread: The Bot Count

  1. #1

    Default The Bot Count

    I don't know about the rest of you, but I personally find it very cute to see the forums having 640 members online on a regular basis, when the truth is it's more around the region of 30.

    Isn't there a way to block bots from accessing your site?

    Just a thought.

    The bots make better posts than a lot of the members, so it's alright.

    You all know the drill.

    • "This could've been sent through a PM to one of the admins. "
    • Funny closing comment
    • A mod replies with a funny joke in a day or two. Not everyone will get this joke.

    you forgot the part where I stab Lev in the leg.

    We need the bots for advertising money, I believe. I'd rather have the "currently active member count" be incorrect than have to shut down the site for lack of funding.

    But maybe someone else can provide more detailed information.

    If we didn't allow the bots then EoFF would never appear on any search engines, thus depriving Cid of advertising money that would otherwise be attained through those people who find this place through said search engines.

    Yeah, I don't think the thread creator really has a sense of what the bots do.
