Well, let's just say my user

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.
