Title: The best bot game!
Post by: Moosetroop11 on February 20, 2012, 01:10:41 AM
I was so desperate to record this for posterity that I started a game  for it. Sue me.

Post a shot of your favourite bot post and whoever gets the best one wins.

"Lead poisoning antidote". Just what I was looking for, being a 20-something student.

Man, I had one that said something about a Roman orgy... Wish I would have held onto it for posterity instead of deleting like a good moderator...

Or that one that like... plagiarised one of, I think, fruckert's post at some points. Yeah, some bots are pretty cool. Too bad they're also annoying.

Depends on the bot. Some bots will dutifully ignore robots.txt. We had a similar problem 18 months ago with the google AD bot because our customer was purchasing Soooo many ads. Google AD bots will (as documented) ignore wildcard (*) exclusions, but listen to explicit ignores.

Remember, bots that honor robots.txt will just not crawl your site. This is undesirable if you want them to get access to your data for indexing.

A better solution is to throttle or supply static content to the bots.

Okay no, that timing was waaaaay too perfect. I'm calling shenanigans.

*alarm goes off*

Grandy has called shenanigans! Members of this thread, do you refute grandy's claim to shenanigans?

I, too, find it suspicious. But believe me when I say that it wasn't me.

The links end in .au, so, assuming we have a shenanigan-er, we can assume they are of Australian origin...

Archem... Don't you guys have that IP check thing anymore? I remember I used to use it all the time back in my mod days...

If so, I sure haven't figured out how to use it.

Also, there's the fact that it took a little while to setup it's profile after posting.

I know because I watch the new posts like a ha-actually I just subscribe via RSS.
Pretty handy, even if our RSS sucks.
