I could write a script that went to every active topic on CE and pull the text from it. If I were a real user visiting all of those pages, gfaqs would gladly serve it, but the bot is pulling data at a faster rate than a person would and you can imagine if all of us were running bots to do this (say if I was doing this so I would get a notification every time mentioned "data scraping" on the site), it would dramatically increase the traffic but would not increase the number of users, ad clickthroughs, etc. Idk if that makes sense or not. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg ...
