So is a spider good or Bad

Jeez i can do without this

so what is a spider a bot that trawls your website

Confused

If you want to be listed in yahoo search or google search, the a yahoo spider or googlebot needs to crawl your site and see what you have. however, it looks like you have your threads set to not be viewable by unregistered guests (which is what a spider is). You could create a robots.txt file to tell them not to crawl (google it).

[nexialys]

web spiders are google, yahoo, msn engines that take the keywords of your pages to index them into the database where you search when you go on google, yahoo and msn... they are harmless, as they can not access pages you block from guests.

it's good for people who are searching for a site like yours.

Most spiders are good news. They index you to their search engines.

nope... you have a privilege to see your post have 2 seconds sooner than mine -- remember that i'm hated by the system, it gives me planned lag...

@Baf, there are some spiders IP that will not be parsed properly, because the system is not very efficient... some msn crawlers are not idenfied as well.... but do not care, they are not dangerous. use a robots.txt file in the root of your forum via ftp if you need to get them off.

I have allowed permissions for non registered users to view the public section :)


thanks for the info all
