Here's a technical question. When I look at Who's Online, most of the guests appear to be Google Spiders. How much of the server bandwidth is taken up by these things? Do they just sit there crawling over the site all day?

I couldn't really hazard a quess about the bandwidth they use. It might be a problem with a normal webhosting account, but we have our own server now (thanks to Webmaster), and both the store and the forum together use a mere 2-3% of our total system resources I would guess. So, let the spiders crawl. Theoretically, they bring in new traffic. By the way, has anyone out there discovered Love Scent via the forum?
