Question What useragent does topix bot use? Trying to block Roboblogger
Roboblogger is pulling content off of my website. Anyone know what user agent he uses for topix.net? I don't see anything in my logs related to topix and figure hes hiding/spoofing his user agent name.

Thanks!

I spent some time trying to figure this one out but it doesn't seem to lead anywhere.

Why not just contact them directly and ask?
Use the Topix feedback system

Interesting thing these people do, it's alarming and should really never be allowed. Seams nobody wants to work anyone and just take others hard work and claim it.

Update us when you get this figured out
