Andrew Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Anyone know what's going on with the user name "Google* appearing in the users on line list? Quote
Captain Colonial Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 That's a Google spider that automatically logs changes and new data in the boardroom. Feel free to be spooked or paranoid if you like. Quote
Andrew Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 A Google spider eh, do they bite? Quote
Captain Colonial Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Never been bitten myself, but not sure what super powers you'd get if you were bitten by one. Quote
Captain Colonial Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Maybe it gives you super garage painting powers! Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 And that's how Google build up a database of all the Boardroom posts so that non-members can search to their hearts content. Quote
dombanks Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Never been bitten myself, but not sure what super powers you'd get if you were bitten by one. the ability to use the old boardroom search engine with pin point accuracy finding exactly what you wanted Quote
adamnreeves Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 That doesn't sound like a googlebot. If some smart A*** hasn't created a user called google maybe this forum software shows it like this when googlebots are crawling over the forum. Actually its on the list of browsing users now. I noticed that there is no hyperlink from it to the user's profile like all the others. Quote
Westford Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Oh..........we now have a Facebook too Quote
adamnreeves Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Facebook. Now that is going to upset some people on here Quote
Andrew Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 I clicked on the users on line list earlier, and caught "Google" viewing The three word never ending Westy thing. That must have kept it happy for a good while. :laugh: 1 Quote

Blatman Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Definitely a Google-bot... IMHO... :0 Quote
