oh, that sucks...all those 49 guests were search bots...
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.
[/div][div] [/div][div style="font-style: italic;"]do you have a robots.txt file for this forum to keep the search bots away?
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.
