It is really a big issue, there are countless rogue search spiders out there.

I saw on my domain site server log, for instance join.php scripts are accessed 10000s of times, without anyone ever joining.

As a measure, I replaced join.php with a short text message.

Traffic went down from 100s of megabytes to less than 1/10 of that!

It does not matter so much as I can use unlimited traffic, but it is still a waste.
