About The Lists

Biggest Bot List

This list contains hundreds of bot IDs to enable your IPB to track and log the visits of search engines, big and small, known and unknown, and ones you can't pronounce.

Core Bot List

For those who don't wish for all the extra smaller search engine IDs, this would be the list for you. This list expands on the standard list given in IPB with other major search engine IDs.

Malicious Bot List

Various men around the world who are too afraid to talk to women except their mothers and thrive on hotpockets and BAWLS may have an annoying yet  money making habit: spamming. People run bots with these IDs to extract email addresses posted on your board and spam the living daylights out of them. This list will ID bots with malicious intentions.

Link Checker List

RSS Bot List

This list only contains RSS bots that contribute to search engines – personal bots such as those found in RSS reader apps will not be found on this list. This does not need to be used with the Biggest Bot List as these are in there already. This should be mainly used if you opt to use the Core Bot List.

German Bot List

In the recreation of Biggest Bot List 5.0.0, I noticed that there is an abundance of German search engines. This list will eventually be compiled and will consist solely of those German-specific sites.
