Spiders?
Was about to post a topic about that, maybe preparations for halloween or the next april fools.
Its not even close to Halloween and April fools is already over...
The "Spider" you see online, to my knowledge, is a person who "crawls" around the forum to index things to their search. The spider on our forums is Google. For example, if you were to search up "Leon Mundt" in the Google search bar, one of the redirects would be put to this forum to make it a more popular search result. He's of no harm to our forums, he's just rummaging around looking at threads and such ;)
Lol cool

so every redirect to the forums is a spider?

Not what I meant. The spider isn't the redirect in itself, but it puts a keyword found on the forum into their search index (example; Hijana). Depending on how popular our forums are, the more the indexes get pushed up near the top of the search query. I'm assuming since the download for Kai's client has almost reached 400k (or has reached) views, that triggered the spider.
Exactly what Vristavia already said. It's nothing to be worried about
Ok, I still don't get it..
Can someone explain to me what those "Spiders" are?
Hijana said one of those may be google, then whats the other one?

Okay, I can't really explain them much more than I already have...They are "bots" from the search engines that index things on the forums, can't really get much simpler than that, unless you can elaborate what you don't understand.
The others could be Baidu, Yahoo!, Bing, etc. Any search engine can index our forum.

Riight..
So the "Spiders' are just basically Bots.
So those aren't like the spambots that login to servers and spam, right?
Their just bots that check out the forums every now and then.

That's the main jist of it. They do no harm, all they do is scan the forums to put keywords into their index ;)

ah.
So that's what's kaise was talking about when he said we've got an advertising biz going on, right?
So these search engines grab a few points from our forums and they advertise it to people?
