God damn bots!

[Madi Perth]

I feel the need to rant. I run a sim that I have created as a park for everyone to enjoy. It's been my goal since I started SL. I was finally able to do it, and people started visiting. I was getting 20 visitors a day. Then I started looking at them and about 90% seem to bots. Empty profiles, no pictures, and don't answer with I "Poke the bot" in IM. I don't know what most of these damn things are doing. One or two I recognize, those two I'm fine with as I know what they do. The rest I'm clueless. A bot should be required to state it's purpose in it's profile.

A friend of mine gave me a list of 200 "known" bots. I'm tempted write a script that just dumps all these "known" bots in to my ban list and call it a day.

What's the name of your park ? Maybe we can create a bit of live traffic.

Good idea Robert.

I'll be sure to wait until late when most people aren't on so no one has to worry about being in the same region as me.

My sim is Windsong and its part of the End of Time estate.

Very nice estate. Really worth visiting.
I Never was that close to Stonehenge in RL.

And that hobbit house is gorgeous.

I've never actually explored the rest of the End of Time estate (I occasionally hit the events.)

Thank you. The hobbit house was and is a labor of love. It's way top heavy in prims and cost me way to much money but I love it.

Look forward to visiting next time I'm online

If you are are exploring I recommend you explore the cave systems. Every sim in the estate but two are connected to it. The builder that made them was truly a master builder. You can find the entrance to the cave system in Windsong next to the pixie house on the right fork in the river next to where you land.

I'm not tempted any more.....
