stuckincincy Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I happened to check the active registered user list a few moments ago. There was a non-underlined "member" listed...archive.org. What is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 And now it's gone. I'm not nuts, folks. I had read a PM just before. Maybe some connection there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 googlebot has replaced it...... 234137[/snapback] No, I don't see that. Honest soul that I am, it was an odd thing that I've not seen before and call me paranoid, but I don't understand why it was displayed in the active users listing.

I don't look at the online users list a lot, but this non-underlined stuff is curious. I'm a (former) scientist, so anamolies prick my ears - and now the prick jokes will follow, I suppose. Are we under cyber-attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Googlebot: Google's Web Crawler Googlebot is Google's web-crawling robot. It collects documents from the web to build a searchable index for the Google search engine." Google is sniffing us and our message content with their web crawler. I'd like the Administrator to contact them to stop it. Type "Gooblebot" in your broswer for more info.

Tux of Borg Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 archive.org is a bot that takes a snapshot of your website. Everytime it see's something new on your website, it records it in their database. Kinda cool... i can see my old website design from years ago.

Would it be "kinda cool" if something took a snapshot of your family at home some evening, and put it into the public domain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have .htaccess files to password protect directories. Other than that, its fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything for a buck types... 234169[/snapback] My understanding is archive.org is free. Let's say you want to know what the news was on your birthday. Go to archive.org, look up cnn.com on the day you were born. I know this doesn't apply to anybody here, but that's just one example how you could use that site. 80 years from now, T-Bone can look up twobillsdrive and relive the memory of the redsocks winning the world series.

34-78-83 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Archive.org is also a fantastic site for free, yet consented music downloads. If you are at all a fan of the Grateful Dead, archive.org is one of your best friends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfladave Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Is archive.org privately run or government run? Here is the link for when I looked up www.stadiumwall.com Here is the link for when I looked up www.twobillsdrive.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
