I have a problem with MSN search, I was under the impression that it followed link on my site, but for some reason it is finding pages that don't exsist on my forums, or really wierd ones, it hasn't read any posts, it just checks the login and registration pages and all sorts of wierd things...
I am sure that the group that the bots are treated as have acess to the forums to read them, but they still don't check posts, it just comes every day and see's if my users long-in differently now...

They think it's a different page that you uploaded... You can block search engines from searching those 'weird' pages by using robot.txt

No, it was IPB, and the page was /index.php?somethingcrazyhere=somethingcrazyhere
so it wasn't something I uploaded, not really... |

You can try using Live Webmaster Tools to manage what Live Search crawls for a specific site. It isn't as advanced as Google Webmaster Tools, but it is mainly for Live Search and is quite useful actually.
