Love some of the fun new features of the forum... like the Who's online (http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au/forum/online.php?sort=username&order=asc&pp=20)... Never know it could be like waiting for Santa - when you see the Judges going through the GOTM....

just checked it out - a few bots and spiders get a mention - very much need to keep on top of security. Check them out and get rid of them.

I belonged to a forum that underwent a DDOS attack, bigger that this one before the upgrade, and it cost a fortune to get everything right again. Also a vBulletin forum.

Yeah, pretty cool. What are spiders (other that the obvious)?

spiders and bots crawl through your site/system either looking for vulnerabilities or to place spam advertising

Been there for a little while. Spiders are also what sifts through sites and comes up with all the stuff for Google and Bing and stuff.

True Brendan, but keep a close eye on stuff mate, we don't want to have any issues with our awesome forum

You and me both Stan. I'll talk to the Admin and see what can be done to keep 'em out.

Some are probably harmless, and to be honest I don't know enough about them, but we need to get rid of the baddies

Pretty sure that Darren, our über guru webmiester is keeping a close eye on the spidies and is at the ready with his trusty can of Mortien if needed :)

I'll make sure to bring a few kegs Brendan when I get there. Love me some root beer. :D

Once our winter ends and I get my first kit I'll no doubt wind up in the naughty room. We just got 16'' of snow the other day. Winter is far from over for me over here!!!
