I know 2.0 Final is feature frozen, and I am not sure if this has been discussed before..

But I believe these two mods should be incorporated into a future release:
Spiders Don't Increase Topic Views
More Spiders

The first obviously to prevent topic views from going up from bots and spiders, the second to add a larger more extensive list of spiders and bots to SMF. The first mod can probably be improved upon greatly by adding in all the bots from the second mod.

Just my 2cents.

Because of the size of the list in the "More Spiders" modification, it isn't unheard of to run into a memory limit. I've personally had that happen. While the core spider list may grow, I think it might be best if it stayed to the most common signatures and forum owners could add their own signatures as they wish.
