Google your user name

[scotty_dotty]

Was messing about looking for images of a waybuloo for my wee girl and then randomly decided to put my digital kaos user name into google images search - how the he'll do they manage to come up with images from the forum, banners, other users avatars etc just from looking at the site?

Can someone else try it to see if it's just a random occurance or explain how they do it?

its prob the spiders that crawl the forums looking for info ( spiders are programms that crawl thru forums collecting info ) look in whos on line when u get to guests and u will see names like google spider, yahoo spider, etc etc, these are good cause dk gets spread all over the place

yes, mines worked as well, quite surprising seeing as if not been on that long. I use the same username on other forums, one of which is a large well known site (not sure if im allowed to mention the name), but nothing comes up from that site.
