Haunted forums?

[Wulf Thunderbolt (Thunderwolf47)]

So I witnessed something that I find funny yet haunting, in a good way, on these forums. Over the past week I've been on the forums late at night when nobody is on, the POOF 22 guest show up and start looking at random stuff on the forums.... ITS strange yet funny, why at 12:55 am PST?

This phenomenon is pretty weird. If I had to guess though, I would say that all these bots late at night are data mining. They seem to be getting info from user profiles alot.

GHOSTS!

That is very not good. They should not be able to view profiles. They are caching your info. I am going to fix that.

Fixed.

If it were a real search engine, it would have showed as Google, Yahoo, etc in the Who's Online.

As you can see from the screenshot, they get counted as guests.

This was most likely some random run crawler going around trying to steal info from profiles. They can no longer do this.
