#1 Post by GarySmith »

Under "Guests Registered Users" there is a MSNBot. Anyone know what the MSNBot is?

It's a search engine indexing bot. There are a few others that you might see in the list of connected users from time to time.

'Msnbot is part of the real-life SkyNet, we're doomed." - Probably some crazy survivalist/conspiracy theorist.

Thank you all.

Since I spend so much of my efforts lately trying to escape Microsoft softwares it just seemed creepy to see the MSNBot name.

Almost feels like corporate stalking.
