Forum software is geared toward earning revenues... as such, forum software is all about traffic metrics...and they all come pre-loaded with bots for every advertising platform in the universe... When I set my forum up, my software came pre-loaded with over 175 different advertising bots ... An example... If you contract with the NY Times...they have their own bot... It's sort of like "E.T. Call Home"...  Unless the owner decides they're never going to sell advertising, the only way to eliminate them is to go into that section of the software and delete all of them... or at least the ones you don't use... I imagine JDeg hasn't gotten around to that...</p></blockquote><p></p>
