vBulletin Spiders Directory (for updated spiders_vbulletin.xml files)

[Dream]

The List Has Moved!

Mosh is taking care of the spiders list now:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...xml-quot-files

====================

Heya,

I made a system where people can submit spiders and download updated spiders_vbulletin.xml files for their forum. After you submit a spider I must approve it for it to be included in the list.

Hope this helps everyone.

If you have questions about how this works read the help

FYI, this is a nice mod made by Paul M. to keep track of your daily spiders visits and show them on forum home:

Nice job though Dream, I am looking forward to an updated version.

Actually I meant no one seems to care about this so far. I thought the first half-hour after I posted this would go:

- dream you rock!
- YAY!!!

But it's fine, I only lost one night's sleep over this, so no biggie.

I added both but the type of the crawler, not sure what you mean.

If you have more suggestions let me know.

I think it's very cool that you did this, Dream. Don't forget that it is the weekend and people may be out and about at the time.

[Dream]

Thanks, yes maybe you are right

I use the old spiders list on my forums, and I'm adding them to the new list as I see them appear on my forums, just so you know. Please only submit spiders from the old list if you know they still exist.

Never mind, Thanks are not the only reason behind why we do work.

[Dream]

Never mind for the type of the crawler, or never mind as I shouldn't mind people not coming into this thread?

[Milado]

Oh ok cheers

Great idea, and job!!! I will definitly be downloading and using them, Thanks.
It would be nice if this thread was stickied.

I use spiders as random "foes" appearing on my forum. MSN as an Orc, Yahoo as a Goblin, etc.
