| We're discussing it in the moderator discussion forum. I've asked the mods to delete any spam that they post. So far, they seem to be doing... absolutely nothing.
*shrugs* If anyone gets a PM from Yahoo bot or Google bot (yes, there's a Google bot as well), tell me. I'll try to find a way to delete them. But, so far, I haven't yet found a way to do that, _________________

| Search engine bot. It goes around and checks websites, and then possibly adds them to its search engine. _________________

| Yes. A private little discussion forum for me, r1nn, and Jack's Spirit. For things that we don't necessarily want everyone to see (like, discussing a particular user and not wanting to embarass them or turn opinion against them, or for discussing things like the bots but not wanting to make a big deal about it in front of the whole forum). _________________

| Well, these bots go around and add pages to their search engines, so they should be good. _________________

| Yeah, those bots never do anything but record info and make it available for search finding. That's normally a good thing.
The bots you have to worry about are the ones that actually register and start posting stuff. _________________ Boris: "Oh I love it! UNKNOWN MAGIC! Let's go stick our heads in it, guys! OH COME ON!!."

| I know, I feel the same way! I am bored today. I am nice girl that would like to chat with you. Email me, because I am writing not from my personal email. I would like to share some of my pics. _________________ The DM will do a lot of talking, but if he’s not rolling the dice then what he’s saying is probably not important.
