That is why you can google your screenname!
I am aware of the database requirement however why are they creating a personal message. To see if their addresses are current?
I am aware of the database requirement however why are they creating a personal message. To see if their addresses are current? could be, but if that is true then they would have PM'd most of us before this
Possibly. There may be some criteria to it. Lt. Winters has not posted since January and Deepeeka has only posted once in April.
From what I understand the Spiders adapt their searches according to what words are being requested on their parent site, they've been getting deeper recently doing a lot more scanning of personal profile pages. Maybe if they have full member access(as I suspect they do) or were recently granted it then this is the next deeper step for them, pressing the 'send PM' button and hopefully being unable to go no further. This is pure speculation as I don't actually know. Maybe 'Lt.Winters', 'deep' & 'peek' are common search words that are on the spiders list of things to find??
