Google Spider?

I forget what they are called, but they are harmless. They gather information as to what people are interested in or something like that. I know there has to be someone that can explain it way better than me.

That's probably how Google knows where to send people when they do searches. Sometimes 4WT threads come up when you search for something we've talked about. Actually, I think it's kinda creepy.

Yes, it is creepy, I just looked and he's on there again. I'm gonna ask Admin.
about it tomorrow.

You might consider seraching the threads. We've talked about so much on here, it's hard to remember, but I think this issue came up before. If not, your plan to ask admin sounds great.

Marilyn is right, it's a search bot. It comes here and copies all of the text for a database which Google uses for its search engines. It is pretty scary, but sometimes it can be really helpful for others to know what we're typing/talking about. For example, if we talk about depression, someone might search google for "depression" and be directed here and then our threads might really help that person. You never know.

Just be careful. Anything you type on the internet can be found by anyone.
