Yahoo Spiders?

Hello,

Look likes they have gone, there used to be 15 or 20 yahoo spiders on every community but since past 2 months I have not seen any yet.

With the release of site explorer, they might be thinking to upgrade to new bots, anyone got any idea?

This is a good point. When I owned a forum yahoo slurp was always active on the forum, even more active than me. Yahoo has made many changes recently, perhaps a more advanced robot is on the way!

In August, they announced a new crawl behavior for Slurp, but I remember no one was happy with the new crawler's behavior, there must be something Yahoo for this. Nothing confirmed yet.
