i have notice a few search bots registered and going through the forums like a vacuum... has anyone else notice this of late..there is one called boardtracker if you go to the website it indexes all of the threads in the forums. is nvnews allowing such a thing?...im just wondering with all the performance issues we had in the past...

How do you tell a searchbot when you see one? Is that what that whole dev_tej what ever the name was about a week or so ago? How would I spot that?

We allow search engines to index the site. If we didn't then people using search engines would never find us. :)
