Google [bot]

Who let the Google bot in? I swear them things are worse than cockroaches...just when you thought you got rid of one...20 more jump out at you!

EDIT: ACK! And now we have an MSN bot! Where is the RAID when you need it???

phpBB3 handles [Bots] differently than previous versions. There are actual legitimate forum accounts for those little bastards, so when they hit the site, they log in using some pre-determined user/pass. This way, they can troll our forums all day, but we dictate what content they are allowed to "index".

For instance, Bots cannot see any of our forums but General (as an example). It's kinda cool. This way, more people can find eq2emulator.net.
