its decieving most of the guests are from the priest hacking into the site.

It's a search engine indexing the site, the 'Gigablast' one, I think. There have been a couple in the last day or so. Yeah, I looked at it the first time and did a classic Hollywood double-take.  "La la la, la la la la,  la- WTF!?"  

(It sounds a whole lot funnier if you do it with a Pee Wee Herman voice. Try it.)

oh, that sucks...all those 49 guests were search bots...

do you have a robots.txt file for this forum to keep the search bots away?

No, not all of them, I think only about half of them were when I looked. There were ~25  people or so  browsing around the forum.

Nope, no robots file. I don't really want to hide from the search engines, and they don't visit very often. And frankly I want people to find the site if they search on "Seattle". It'll be a while before Google lets DS out of the sandbox and that starts to happen, maybe a few months or so.
