Just a weird one here perhaps. Sometimes when several guests and some people I know are online at CPF I will click on where it says 10 Users online, 5 guests online and it shows what each person is looking at or where they are on the forum. Anyway, tonight at 1330h I checked when there were only 5 members online and 17 guests. 10 guests were looking at peoples profiles, that seemed like a lot to me. Any thoughts?

These guests were probably web crawlers from a search engine.
As of right now, Google spiders are browsing a bunch of player profile pages.

Make sure your email is private! Spams away spiders!

will the spiders be able to grab my email from the picture in the signature? or is it safe/unreadable?
Graham
your email is safe in that image Chris. That is a common way to prohibit 'spiders' from picking up your address.
another way is that you could type out your address like: 'johndoe at hotmail dot com' although i wouldn't be surprised if bots could translate these now.
In case anyone is wondering, the same goes for all sites, not just cpf :)
