Hide the bots.

Post by Tsui »

You know, those little grey-colored names at the bottom of the index page? Why did they suddenly appear after the site was down for a while that one time? Can't we have them hidden again?

Actually, to be honest, they make me a little nervous.
Even though we have no ads, it serves as a reminder that the forum isn't just isolated from the rest of the internet, but is connected.

But anyway, we didn't have them before that thing a while back, maybe they were hidden, why can't we have them hidden now?



But then again since they don't really seem to be users at all I'm not sure how that would work exactly

I don't see why they need to be hidden.

They're really not doing anything but showing up on the users online page. It's not like they're hurting anything being there...

They record data from the forum and put it in the database of their respective search sites (Google, Bing, etc.).

Basically they're there so we don't start a descent into obscurity.

They do seem a little odd, but I guess they have their purposes :')

The bots are scary KILL HIDE AND ISOLATE THEM BEFORE THEY BREED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-*shot*

I don't like them there either. they give the impression that more users are online than there actually are.
