I hope that I'm not the only one who finds it odd that I caught Google.com posting today.

no I don't find it odd at all, I've seen such things in many different forums. At some every threads in a googlebot post. Nothing peculiar here. Move along now, nothing to see here.

Well... would ya look at this... Now... are you really surprised?

The options seem to be:
1) IT'S VOMERON!

2) It's a user named "google.com" - we don't seem to have such a user, but we do have a googlebot lamester er... user.

3) It's from google, for real - a bot logs in and then reads the forum into Google's Demonic Database (the GDD) and stores all our innane banter to return it as an archive page (should LM ever go down for some reason). I suspect it comes here so often because we add more innane banter so often.

The Google Archive Page feature is a good reason to think twice about what you post....

3, the IPB board has a feature which can see if there's a google bot on the forum.
