107?!?!?!

Gotta be a mistake, we don't even get that many people posting here anymore...

Yes, it was a mistake. Should be 10.7

I was never any good at decimal points.

They appear to be average hunters.

Oh great stuff...


This is like Flaming Bails: Rise of the Bots.

We'll be overrun by the bloody things before long. They'll be taking our jobs next.

I couldn't be @rsed Googling Googlebots. WTF do these things do?

They fry your brains and eat your loved ones. With a nice little bot of chianti.

Well apart from taking our jerrbs, I assume they scan for information. Log it. Then enter the most used and/or relevant phrases, words, sentences so people can find what they are looking for on Google.

They might be doing us a service - especially if they make this place easier to find.

Then again, it could be a spambot in the making. Who knows.

Hope Royale with Cheese sorts it out though.

Hehehe - "they took our jerrbs". You're on a roll Smerks.

And thanks for the explaino.

That was The HaniBot rather than the Googlebot, Skulls.

Aye, Pete. A classic performance by Hopkins.

They have machine guns in their breasts, and try to kill Austin Powers.

Googlebot is the search bot software used by Google, which collects documents from the web to build a searchable index for the Google search engine. When you search for sites that display your IP, you will often see the googlebot's IP address.

If a webmaster wishes to restrict the information on their site available to a Googlebot, or another well-behaved spider, they can do so with the appropriate directives in a robots.txt file,[1] or by adding the meta tag to the web page.[1] Googlebot requests to Web servers are identifiable by a user-agent string containing "Googlebot" and a host address containing "googlebot.com".[2]

Currently Googlebot only follows HREF links and SRC links.[1] Googlebot discovers pages by harvesting all of the links on every page it finds. It then follows these links to other web pages. New web pages must be linked to other known pages on the web in order to be crawled and indexed or manually submitted by the webmaster.

A problem which webmasters have often noted with the Googlebot is that it takes up an enormous amount of bandwidth.[3] This can cause websites to exceed their bandwidth limit and be taken down temporarily. This is especially troublesome for mirror sites which host many gigabytes of data. Google provides "Webmaster Tools" that allow website owners to throttle the crawl rate.[4]

I don't understand any of that. Nice Googling, A.

So do we need to get Frommie on the job to do some throttling?

I preferred my answer.

Smerk's made most sense to me.
