Ok, thanks barry. I was wondering if it might have been one of those registration bots I'd read about.

I have had the same but they never do any harm you could always add that area to your robots.txt file and block it from entering that area.

metacrawler trying to access my forum?
Hey there
I don't know if I've put this query in the right forum, so excuse me if it should go somewhere else.
I've got a pretty new vB forum. I keep noticing when I view 'current users' a 'guest' with an IP on crawl*.googleblot.com. It keeps trying to 'Create Event', which of course it's blocked from doing. I'm guessing this is some sort of metacrawler or something? Should I be concerned about it at all? Can it do any damage?
I hope this made sense. Still feeling my way a bit with this forum stuff.
Thanx.Tags: None
