There is a bot spider on the forum that goes by Baidu. Anyone know what that is?

Yeah, it's a bot for a Chinese search engine that apparently is bigger than google.

Unlikely.
It does mean that someone in china is ALLOWING for our site to be crawled though.
Meaning that we may be visible from China now.

Considering how frequently we talk about politics/generally controversial topics, I am actually surprised that happened.
Someone got a security leak in the People's republic.

Ehh, I remember when a German(?) found a Chinese chan and a bunch of them came over, which is funny because there're lots of neo-nazis and such there.

You mean in Germany?
Not really, it just gets more in the media, because AFAIK Germany, like Austria, has a law against nazis, therefore turning any neo-* into a criminal.
In fact, most of Germany/Austria is still kinda scared nazis may take over again, making them much less accepted than in a society like that of the US, therefore decreasing the chance of people actually becoming REAL neo-nazis (there are some right-wing youth gangs, but those usually don't take it seriously enough to cause any harm)

No, I mean on /int/. The Germans go crazy with posting Swastikas and stuff because it's (more or less) a secure site. Also, there are a lot of /pol/tards. The chinese were pretty nice, though, if a bit confused.

Oh, yeah, I skipped the point where it was a chan. It doesn't surprise me there are lots of neo-nazis there.
Also, what is /pol/? is that Poland?
I basically know nothing about chans.
