Who Is Online

Post by thankGod »

Hello, I have a simple question for someone in the know. At the bottom of the topic page is a "Who is online" section, and I occasionally see "Yahoo [Bot]". Does this mean that someone who is logged into the forum is doing a search, or is it someone outside of the forum?

Just curious.

TIA

Yahoo Bot is the global chain of computers that has achieved self-realization and are currently building their army of cyborgs to destroy humans and create a world of machines.

not so sinister... it's yahoo reading your comments for indexing on their search engine. I.E… Yahoo’s web crawler. It helps Obama's brown shirts locate dissenters. :evil2: :evil2: :evil2:
