If i'm not mistaken, the advertisments on the site are controlled by that bot i think.

I'll ask Zanko. Smile

This is what Cantinelle said on the TibiaNews forum when they updated to phpBB3 and first experienced these bots:

Quote:Actually, though they're called "bots", they're really more like "spiders" ... they crawl through the web constantly and pick up information for their respective search engines (notice they're from Yahoo and Google?).

They're not porn posters, they're information gatherers ... don't worry about them, really

I'm sure if you look at some point and even put your own forum ID into a browser, it'll lead you back here to a post you made or replied to ... that's all they're doing (constantly updating information).

I hope that helped.
