cool, PBG forum stalking...
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
Ooh err. Nasty.
that's a cool feature Bman, so is this new or something we weren't aware of ?
I particularly like the whats new page!
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.
I like the new pizza toppings and root beer in the naughty room. :D
Rob - can't see them serving up root beer in the Naughty Room - hard to get it here in Aus...
Not hard, just not called root beer.

Delicious.
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
never been super keen on Sars, but they make an awesome ginger beer
Mmmmmmmmmmmm Sars.....
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 :)
