You mean bing of the search machine?

Bots, that's for advertisements orso. You probally had like 40-50 people viewing the forum? For me the bing bot comes then.

40/50 i wish! most ive had viewing at one time is 19! and thats including guests and members that were loged in at the time.

Hi.

Bing (Microsoft's search engine), alike Yahoo, and Google like to reference your forum. Bing is the search engine.
