Looks to me like the board software now recognizes the spiders (bots) that crawl the site and index things. Maybe now they won't be throwing off the most users online statistic anymore?

That was the goal but I don't think it's going to work because the most users count is still counted by individual IP address and not by name -- that is for Guests atleast and spiders are treated as guests. The IPB guys said that this should be fixed in version 2.2.x which should acctually be an easy fix now that spiders are properly recognized.

You can see Google Spider is on nearly 24/7.

I can acctually still keep the logging on but remove those Spiders from the member list so you guys can't see them if they're wierd to you ... what do you all prefer?

I'm okay with either leaving them be or hide them.

I like to see them. It gives you a netter idea of how many real users are online, and it's interesting to see which one is doing what.
