Who's Online

megamaced · 20-06-2006, 01:04 AM

I've seen some bizarre things whilst looking at the 'Who's Online' feature. Most recently I noticed a Google AdSense spider trying to reply to the 'Best O/S for my Laptop thread'

It's a bot, it's not supposed to have an opinion!

Where is the link to this feature? How do you know that they were trying to reply that thread?

In my sig.
But yes, i do see some wierd things aswell.
I usually use it to see if someone is replying to a post and to find interesting thread, usually old ones though!

You can also click 'Currently Active Users' at the bottom just above where it shows who's online.

LOL, okay now i've seen it all

A Google Adsense spider was trying to send ME a private message!

It was viewing a 'No Permission' message.

LOL, what was it going to say? "I've been a really busy spider today, i've fished out loads of keywords for my search engine"

Haha, it was actually telling you to call off your yahoo minions or there'd be an all out cyber-space war between the bots
