If you check on that page you will see that at certain spots there are yahoo images linking to yahoo search. Isn't msgplus for msn messenger? Shouldn't yahoo have NOTHING to do with it? Your opinion please

It's just a bot that trails the forums and then with certain words it picks up, if you were to search them in Yahoo! search, then you would get the thread on here.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

You can see any bot that has a search engine ... it isnt new news. They see the no permission page, people's profiles and everything.
They can see any page that is visible to an unregistered person so they cant see T&T and beta testers forums.
And btw ...

You search for "John Anderton" and you'll probably find my profile for this forum on the 1st page (It was there last time i checked
) Some people having common names could put messenger Plus! In front of it but this is only an example. Please do not post "My name appears on page 'x' of 'y' search engine while searching for 'z'" Or anything on those lines

Also, the search engines make cached copy of a page so for example there was a thread on these forums that got deleted, you might still be able to view some of it in the search engine's index
It's good to have search engines crawling because if someone needs help with messenger plus! and they haven't notice a link to the forums say in the "plus! about window", then they go to google and type "messenger plus help", boom, msghelp.net appears
I think that the ability to see when a bot is seaching something is good, so you can filter out the number of bots who are the guests viewing the forums.

What's the point of the script though?
so we see that search engines find the website...
does it need to be there??

It is just there for fun and shows that our site is well bookmarked in the top 3 search engines like DZ said
