Question About Members

[Theatreboy]

I am online right now, and the forum page lists who is online now. It says 4 members, one of which is Google?

Google is a member?

I have the member list set to list 'robots' that index the site for search engines.

You will notice, Apple, Google, Bing, etc, indexing from time to time.

This is normal - I like to leave it that way to be transparent with users.

Also, FYI, we've been targeted by denial of service attacks lately, as I expected, so you'll notice the amount of guests is inflated. Some people just have to hate, but we're prepared for that.

Thank you, i figured it was something like that.

I was wondering if they were sniffing sites to slow down.
