Noticed this earlier on...

Registered users: John_Vella, Majestic-12 [Bot]


Is this something that we, (by we I mean you admin people) know about, and does anything need to be done about it?

John I don't know that particular one but we have many bots visiting us and they are generally indexing us for the search engines.

If it's got [bot] after it's name then it's a well known bot for search engine indexing etc

I know that most are for search engine indexing, and names such as Google are expected, but I'd never heard of Majestic-12.

If everyone else is happy then so am I.

:D

Majestic? Is that a search engine for UFO conspiracy theorists?
