Can't view member

Post by Akor » Thu Jan 08, 2015 3:41 pm

When I logged on, there is a member that I can't view, name is in gray. All the way at the bottom of the screen where you look to see who is currently online. I searched through the member list and cannot find a member called "Google [Bot]".

Google [Bot] isn't a member. It's an automated bot to do with googles search engine building an index for searches. It shows up from time to time. Although what it actually does, considering the content of bus isn't actually searchable on google, beats me.

Google [Bot] searches Web sites, counting the links in them and the number of changes made since it last visited. These number are used to move a site up or down the Google search index.

As far as BUS is concerned, Google [Bot] does not record any text here. For example, when I do a Google search for "Akor" nothing about you as a BUS member is returned - BUS is safe and secure in that sense.
Alone we are born
And die alone
Yet see the red-gold cirrus
Over snow-mountain shine.

You walk with an intelligence
That informs a clear bright eye
There are unexpected revelations
In the company of ravens.
