Has anyone gone through all 300 posts to see how many unique bots there has been? ;)

Most of the time when I'm in CMX they tend to be:

Yahoo
Exabot
Party
Baidu
MSN

I've yet to see Google in CMX which is treating my website like a second home lol.

Is someone volunteering? :wink: :lol: :lol:

In the ACP it lists about 20 bots which have visited CMX, and another 30 which haven't yet.

What's with these bots today? (I haven't been here for some time)

Do they post phoney threads or spam messages?, or just lurk around?
Are they perhaps instigated by browsing these forums through a tool-bar or something?
It doesn't seem to make any sense.

Please, someone, fill me in.
I wanna join the hunt, like old days (grabs shotgun...)

Here's one that seems to be always there: Yahoo [Bot]
/|\

/|\ has a strict policy concerning disclosure of identity, showing of
light sabers, affiliationado's, multiple account users, drinking buddies who
join the same community they see me visit for years, and board hoggers
(whatever that means).
The policy is: If it doesn't bother me, I don't give a flying f4ck.
