Looked at Members Online yesterday and this morning and this afternoon.
Saw about the same thing.
Man, big long list of quest, and logging on at a rate of about 90 a minute . . . . . Man, is that what the software/host has to deal with? those bots or something?

Or is that the list just needs to have something populated in the list, or something....?

I do thank Frank for all that he does. (And he does it just because he want to. . . . . for us.)

Spider bots, they're more than likely compiling data for search engines.

Then again, if it's something a person can't understand there must be a clandestine reasoning behind it. Remember, in times of doubt, ALIENS!!!!

It's a "Feeding frenzy" on here for them right now. Spiders read and parse data then come back at certain points to see what's changed and record those changes to update whichever data base their serving. With a major upgrade the old data is not found, the bots see the entire website as "New data" and are mindlessly doing their job at collecting it.
