The 'Bill Gates Spider' is the spider from MSN Search, it is no more or less sinister than those from Yahoo! or Google.
The name, Bill Gates Spider, was Refalm's idea of a joke.

I was gonna suggest that but then it'd be harder for MSN-search-users (who will likely be Windows/MS-users) to find us.

Post by: Refalm on 25 November 2005, 18:23: There's a lot of stuff about this website in MSN Search. I see this as a positive thing.

On top of that, Yahoo! is far more aggresively in crawling this site.

Post by: H_TeXMeX_H on 25 November 2005, 21:27: what are spiders ? :confused: ... never heard of them before
Title: Re: 52 guests????
Post by: Lead Head on 25 November 2005, 21:29: i think spiders are part of a search engine, i dont know if you can see it by most of the yahoo spiders try to reply to threads and send out PMs

Post by: noob on 25 November 2005, 22:47: spiders are scripts that go to the main page of a listed website and follow all links within the domain to "map" the site and to find keywords to add to the database for that site.

Post by: Annorax on 1 December 2005, 13:11: Why the fuck are the spiders trying to post? I thought they were written better than that....

Post by: Dark_Me on 1 December 2005, 15:46: Possibly they are just following the link for "go advanced". Or is it script rather than a link?

Since when is that a bad thing?

Personally, we should just block IE to keep morons away, that would eliminate 90% of the problems of morons in the first place. Who gives a crap about people hearing what we have to say, its about the fact were right, not popular.

Perhaps to let people reading traffic logs know that its a spider from "insert company name here"? You know, it's far less sinister than disguising the fact that it's a spider.

I hate that excuse, beat your perants up. You don't hear mine complaining.

Post by: xyle_one on 2 December 2005, 00:07: It's a weak excuse. You have plenty of choice, at home, to use whatever you want. Stop being a bitch and stop using windows already.

Title: Re: 52 guests????
Post by: Kintaro on 2 December 2005, 03:43: http://www.linux.org has a huge list of them, including information. Better still there is probably a bulgarian language translation of the site.
