Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Computer Reading All Posts?

Hi, Wasn't sure how to reach the moderator, but I noticed tonight that an "anonymous" was reading a new post every second or so. Clearly, too fast to be a human. If you go to who's online and then refresh immediately, you'll see the top anonymous on a new post everytime (happened to be checking to see if I'd get an answer to my post and it caught my eye...). Despite all of our efforts to be careful in our posts, a lot of personal information makes it way to this public board. Just wondering whether there is a concern.

Thank you.

It's not happening anymore, but it was about 5 minutes ago. Maybe the bulletin board was being backed up?

Is it the same anonymous or several anony-mouses?

Many of the search engines will crawl the board on a regular basis.

Since we are on the topic, the other day I noticed two search spiders and each were "reading" member profiles.
What's up with that?

It was the same anonymous - top position and every time I clicked it was on a new post/thread. And I have a fast connection. It was clearly going through all the posts at an incredibly fast rate, and was not one of the search spiders listed at the bottom. I hope it was just the Davidson software backing up the board at about midnight ET.

I see, I wonder what the search phrase was.

It was me. I just read incredibly fast.

LOL!

You two had better post your secret to speed reading success in the reading thread!

LOL!

Look, just because I am paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
