Topic: Why are some topics so popular with bots?

Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago #19,635

On folks, there are a few random old topics that are always being read. Is there a logic to how crawlers work?

For instance there's often a bot reading http://minichan.org/topic/15526.

Clicking on your link only brings main page up with : Page requested not found

Found it on my own.

Does not make a lot of sense why that topic would be spider'd more often then anything else. Not much action when it was up.

Tattoos About 180,000,000 results (Google)

Compare that to Sex as a search term About 3,240,000,000 results.

How can you tell when it's a bot?

Skynet is planning to mark us all with QR code tattoos when it enslaves humanity, and it isn't sure what to do about the darker humans.

Obviously.

That's probably the most important philosophical question of the 21st century.

The answer is African Americans are stupid and people who get tattoos are stupid too.
