Brucey Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Sometimes when I enter a thread, on the list of users viewing the topic it says - Bing (1) or Yahoo (1) Has anyone noticed this? And does anyone know why this is the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I notice the same thing too. I was assuming they are guest users? I also notice a member Johnny Gilbert quite often but never see a post from said member.... Love the name anyway and it makes me chuckle every time I see it. Thanks Johnny G whoever or wherever you are.... :cheers: :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sold me my ticket for the 2011 CA show in Atlanta, priced more than fairly for a 15th row center seat. We sat together as he had the seat next to mine. Very nice guy.

Babycat Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Not only Bing (1) and Yahoo (1), but I've also seen Facebook (1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesweetscience Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Not only Bing (1) and Yahoo (1), but I've also seen Facebook (1)They are probably spider accounts for search engines. It helps search engines index the site for when people are doing searches. I would not be surprised if there is not one for Google as well. They are software and not actual users.

satchmothesnowdog Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Search engine bots. It's what makes all of our goofy and asinine posts show up on web searches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
