[Coda]

Still mostly search engines. I would mostly imagine spambots don't generally browse threads before registering (it would just be a waste of processing power) and if they did they would probably target active ones. We WANT search engines to feel free to read our posts because it makes Trisphee more important in search results.

And really there's not much I could do anyway. If I told bots to go away, only the bad bots would be here (because the good ones would obey the rules). All I could do would be to take the guest count display off of threads, and that wouldn't actually change anything.
