What the hell is Baidu?

[Leanne]

It's like Chinese google.

[rowens]

What does it want? Is it a robot or something?

[Jagger Cyde]

I've noticed a google bot too.
What do these do? And why are there so many guests?

[Leanne]

Just like google, it has its little bot-thingies out all over the web to make sure that things end up in search engines.

If we didn't allow things like google and baidu, we wouldn't have a searchable web presence -- which is kind of death for a site.

Is this how the guests find us?
Google is how I found this place. One of the first results if you google "Poetry forums"

[rowens]

So that's why there's a secret place?

[Leanne]

Yes, that's why there's a secret place

Only logged-in members can view certain parts of the forum such as the Pig's Arse, the Sewer and the Member's Only Forum.

So that's why there's a secret place?

What?
