El Zilcho Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 When I go on the front page, and it shows al the suers online, there is also Yahoo! on the list. But they have no member profile, you can't click on them. So how are they viewing? Kinda weird, no? Is it Yahoo!.com viewing the site or something?

Rhoda Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Yahoo and Skynet (another "account" you are unable to click on) are sponsors I believe, though I bet a staff member or veteran could explain things further as I'm no expert on it. I believe they work the same way from a financial point of view as the adverts at the top of the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 There's also a Archive.org and I believe Google.com too. They're bots performing automated tasks like collecting information from the site and such. If I'm not wrong, they are one of the reasons why gtaforums shows up in a yahoo or a google search. Archive.org obviously helps archive pages from the forum for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
