Inktomi Slurp Spider?
The index currently lists 129 people on the board, with 68 viewing the Books. Further investigation reveals that most of these are Inktomi Slurp Spiders. A Google search turns up the information that when Yahoo! bought Inktomi, it took the Slurp Spiders out of commission and renamed them Yahoo! Spiders. Is the board being haunted?

Seems likely enough.
Stay on the green threads. Don't you go a-meddling with old programs or cold Spiders who go prying through other people's forums.

Of Spiders and Slurping.

A slurp spider is a spider found at your local 7-11.

The spiders have returned in even greater numbers! Where is Sam Gamgee when we need him? But , then, why should I be surprised? This is a Tolkien site!
As of 4:30 pm there were 185 Inktomi Slurp spiders swarming over the Barrowdowns. When I checked, they seemed particularly interested in the Shire discussion threads, for what reason I can not possibly imagine.....
