There has been altogether 15 bots more visiting this forum since 2017, but those have given up more recent crawling: W3C [Linkcheck], BLEXBot, W3C [Validator], Yahoo [Bot], Google Adsense [Bot], AdsBot [Google], Alexa [Bot], YaCy [Bot], Googlebot Smartphone, MSN [Bot], Ask Jeeves [Bot], FAST WebCrawler [Crawler], AspiegelBot, Voyager [Bot] and Exabot [Bot].
If the forum traffic or load becomes excessive, I will block them all again by returning them the good old http status 418: I'm a teapot.
Happy webmastering,
Santeri
