| Just noticed we got a google bot a little while back. It's quite illusive and doesn't show up much. I was able to track it, even though it's anonymous, here is it's google map location. This is where its coming from. It appears to be coming from a naval air station on the West Coast but the map never actually pinpoints the actual location so the person is close to the naval station though.  | |

| Sure was, came from the same location again. This thing could be killing Matts bandwidth.  Going to have to find a way to stop it. Or maybe block it's IP. I'll track it better next time. Everytime I track it, it disappears in seconds. lol Here another google map of where it come from. I didn't zoom in super close this time. They are in Cali. [url=  [/url] | |

| No matter what, they taking up our BANDWIDTH and ARE NOT WANTED, lmao. I can't get their IP address to block them. I think only Matt can block bots IP's.

| I know. You are right, this is their exact address, lol. This is where they are coming from. It's actually a little west of the Naval field.

| so i just checked it all out, a google bot is a good thing, all it does is scan the posts so that when anyone searchs on googl if something is related to the site then the site will come up, the more it is on the site the closer to the top of the search page the site will be, they don't use up large amounts of bandwidth. | |
