Seems like FUDf generates invalid links , a problem which was also reported above by WhiteTiger.

My own forum is full of error messages by web-spiders. Most of them are like the following:

[Error] Invalid Input
[Message Sent to User] You have followed an invalid link. Please notify the webmaster how you got here.
[User IP] 66.249.71.214
[Requested URL] http://www.goodgameslive.com/fud/index.php?t=showposts&id=111&
[Spider] Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/b

[Error] ERROR: No such user
[Message Sent to User] There is no such user
[User IP] 66.249.66.228
[Requested URL] http://www.goodgameslive.com/fud/index.php?t=usrinfo&id=2377&
[Referring Page] unknown

Now, while the error by the Baidu spider seems to be cause by simple brute force (I have logs with all the numbers in sequence), the one by Googlebot is quite the mistery.

The forum exists, it is publicly accessible and it has messages in it, so how did the Googlebot get to that invalid link? I couldn't find a solution as of yet.
