Baidu [Spider]

#1 Post by InceptionBwaaa »

Just who, or what, the hell is Baidu [Spider]? Is it a bot? If so, why is it called Baidu [Spider] and not Baidu [Bot], like the rest of the bots?

Baidu is the primary Chinese search engine. Technically, GoogleBot should probably also be listed as a "spider" rather than a "bot" because of its function. I'm not sure why phpBB decided to give different suffixes on the different web crawlers (theoretically they have a good reason), but that's an innate feature of the forum software. In any event, Baidu is not an attacker or a spammer.

That's really grody. Grody, grody gross. I despider spies. And I despise spiders. What prupose do they have on this planet, anyway? What do they do?

Ps: Those were rhetorical. They have no purpose and must be eliminated.

They crawl the web, more specifically.

Rise my child! I bring you, this post, back to life!!

Baidu is more evil than Google. It doesn't deserve the title of Bot. It's a spider.

Note: This is solely my opinion and has nothing to do with the fact that Baidu is based in China. I hate Baidu because I love Google.
