Was added with the new phpBB release. Need to hide him to not confuse our wary board members ;)
Basically there are around 2-3 bots all the time watching the forum for news. But those bots are "good" because they help ppl finding this board easier when using search engines. Not the bad bad spam bots we used to have some years ago :D

Edit: I think that you wont see him again :) But he is there...believe me.

I like them, they MUST stay.

Are they all named after charachters from the hit US TV SITCOM Friends starring Joel Schwimmer, Courtney Love, Lee Scratch Perry, Jennifer Ellison, Matt Le Tissier and Lisa Skid Row?

Always meant to ask, what momentous event caused 217 users to be online at 9:17am on Thursday Jun 29, 2006?

Or was this those naughty spam bots?

Was it a fight between the good bots and the bad bots?

Maybe I'm being dense, or perhaps missed something, but I thought that was all in 2005?

True, but I don't know if anyone really was aware of it until he went back into the press circuit in 2006 for the acoustic mainlines.

I am probably completely wrong though


Ben: got to the news page on the main site and scroll all the way to the bottom.
