I think I have a stalker !

Something really weird is happening to me, every time I log onto the forum, a "guest " appears within minutes of my arrival Confused

The "guest" normally lurks abotu whilst I am on and then if I leave, and come back in a couple of minutes, the "guest" has gone Shocked

Maybe i'm just being paranoid...........or maybe they really are out to get me Twisted Evil

Ken, don't worry, it's all perfectly above board. Our Forum (and all the other Forums) once 'established', attract 'Adbots' mainly from Google and Yahoo, and they pick up on certain words, scan their 'memories' and place adverts on the pages linked to key words within those pages and posts.There are also ordinary 'Web bots' that link this Forum with other sites and place us on their Search Engines. A good and free way of getting ourselves known. Smile

I too had the same thoughts as you Ken. I've noticed it on several boards I visit in a day.

Thanks for that Admin, I hadn't realised Embarassed

I'm a bit disappointed now Sad

I thought I had finally made the grade and got myself a genuine stalker, at last, someone who finds me remotely interesting !
