am I the only one having this unknown spider bot problem?

I dont have a SINGLE known spider in the list:

http://www.total-clan.com/forums/spiders.php

I have the LATEST xml file, I formatted it right, chmod is right, everything is right. What's wrong?

99% of the time mine are unknown too...I used the spiders from hambil's BOL hack, and it gives me a known one every once in a blue moon...but the googlebot, MSNbot both show up...so it might be a step in the direction your after.

I almost posted where did they go however glad this is there!

Why is adv_index showing up in the list I thought this was replaced when I renamed it to index.php, or am I just loosing my mind.

You could be losing your mind, but that's something you'll have to deal with on your own. ;-)

That page probably calls itself adv_index (in the code of the page), so that's what the spider watcher sees when the page is loaded. You can rename the file to whatever you want, but if you don't change the code it'll still have it's original name.

BTW - don't go changing the page's name if you don't know what you're doing... It's used in other places than just the file itself, if you just change it there you can screw other stuff up.

hi mike,

here my german translation.

bye und best regards,
svenna

mine isn't working either..... no spiders display

the format that is used on vbulletin.com wont work with it... even the one zia post wont either... i posted a few pages back a working one... the format they have one vbulletin.com is wrong and its not even like that stock so i have no clue why they update the list there cause its still a wrong format

i guess i dont know enough about spiders to ask the right questions.. but i do know enough to read threads to determine what is good or bad for my forum. and i guess some spiders are good for search engine purposes... while others milk your bandwidth....i installed this watcher, but i am now looking for a bad spider SNIPER.....
any ideas?
