Team Cape Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) http://osbot.org/forum/user/150777-google-bot/ Had an account since March 2015, but hasn't made any posts. He's also only been on for 1 minute since then, but was last online today. He has almost 1000 views of his account. Not really concerned, just think this is sort of weird, no? Edit: ive also seen his 'last online' time update like 5 times in the past few minutes on his profile meaning he's been on for like... at least 10min... but it still says his account has been on for a minute Edit 2: Also, aside from me, he was the last person to look at Zach's profile spooky Edited July 24, 2016 by Imateamcape

Krys Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 It's the search engine crawler, it indexes the content on OSBot for it to show up when you search on Google, for the SEO. 2
Team Cape Posted July 24, 2016 Author Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) It's the search engine crawler, it indexes the content on OSBot for it to show up when you search on Google, for the SEO. I saw it viewing specifically this thread, though, shortly after I made it. And why would it have 10min+ of activity (as far as we know), yet only have 1min active time on its account? And why was it visiting Zach's profile, but nobody else's? So many questions, so little time edit: his time didnt even change by 1 second. weird, no? Edited July 24, 2016 by Imateamcape

ez11 Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 the real question is why this forums shows googles search bots as user though

So many questions, so little time edit: his time didnt even change by 1 second. weird, no? It specifically looks for new content to index. It's not a person, chill out. the real question is why this forums shows googles search bots as user though IPB most likely has it configured that way in its generic robots.txt file.
Solution Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Extremely scary. I'll work on removing google's crawler from this forum ASAP. Damn scammer bots.
