Chuck Posted February 26, 2006 Answer: The google.com "member" is really just someone looking at eurobricks through Google, but not acctually on EB (this happens when there is a google toolbar above the site you are looking at).

The Hordesman Posted February 26, 2006 I believe it means that this site is listed on google, and is not just a member. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is integrated into our new board system. Just to add some more information (even though the thread is closed) this process is known as "spidering" or "web crawling", and since I can't be bothered explaining lets use the definition from The Free Dictionary Also known as a "Web crawler," "spider," "ant," "robot" (bot) and "intelligent agent," a crawler is a program that searches for information on the Web. It is used to locate HTML pages by content or by following hypertext links from page to page. Search engines use crawlers to find new Web pages that are summarized and added to their indexes.
