Menz Update - Canada Day Happiness

[Marko]

Congrats to Menz life for its 1 yr anniversary. Curious though. Out of all visitors Menz gets. How many of those are bots? Are you able to identify this? I know PERB gets a huge load of bot registries.

Most bots will identity themselves as bots. You can see the search engine bots when they search the forum, they will appear as Google, Bing, etc. 

So far we have avoided most malicious bots. Once in a while we will get spammers , but its very rare. 

This is not the first PHP forum I've run. In the past it use to be really, really bad for bot signups. Nowadays its majorly better. I'm not sure why. I guess better detection measures nowadays.
