Why is Google spidering the

user profiles? Aren't those pages marked?

True. If you google your

handle you're likely to find your user profile.

Well, let's just say my user

profile wasn't the first page that google brought up. :o :D

Yeah, the forum is crawling with

spiders today. Actually, I would make a rough guess that about 30% of the "guests" (visible in the "who's online"

page) are in reality some sort of spider. At the moment the forum is only programed to show Google spiders, so with

all the thousands of spiders (spambots etc) on the loose, you can imagine there are plenty. So, don't put

anything into your profile area that you don't want spidered. If a human can click their way into something, so

can spiders.
