Something i've noticed

[Shazbotdom]

I noticed that AdBot Names appear in the active users listing as they are browsing through these forums. Personally I find it annoying and for forums that I have set up using phpBB I make it so that they are not visable.

Do the almighty Admins have plans of turning off the visability of the AdBots names?

I found it quite amusing to see myself listed as:

WHO IS ONLINE?
Bokkiwokki, Google [Bot]

[Helsingtown]

Ive noticed that too. What does the "bot" thing mean anyways?

They are there for targeting advertising for the forum, its mentioned in another thread somewhere.

I'm not talking about the advertisments.
The Bot Listings are from the search engines. I just always have them being delisted under "online users" on forums that I set up and I was wondering if the Admins were planning on keeping them visable or making them invisable.

I know, I was just telling Helsingtown what they were. I'd prefer it if they were delisted as well.
