The bots
« on: February 02, 2009, 11:49:40 PM »
Guys, think. Before we went to SMF, there were no bots at all. Once we did, BAM! Hundreds of them. Think about it. SMF is causing bots come to charas. Discuss.

EDIT: Kay you guys got it wrong, what I meant it. SMF has shitty protection against bots and stuff.

Even though I am new, why would you say that a host is responsible for bot problems? Yes, moving to new hosts means a change in security programming, but that doesn't mean the host is destined to make its costumers miserable.

SMF probably just has weaker protection than the previous whatever. To suggest that they're actually sending bots on purpose is a little ridiculous.

What I think is that SMF is easier for bot's to target, seeing as it's more widely used, therefore easier to recognize
So they'd get more coverage
So more stupid people would click the links

Oh right, sorry. It sounded that way from the wording. Perhaps "causing" rather than "making" would be a better word to use?
