I think you've answered your own question. The msg_area.grp array contains (IIRC) groups that the current user has access to. If your guest user doesn't have access to 'sestar', then this message makes sense.
Perhaps your guest account used to have access to this group, and now bots are trying to reindex pages that they can no longer see.

If a user doesn't have access to a particular message group, the page should probably handle it more gracefully than to throw a JavaScript error onto the page (which would probably be meaningless to a real user). The page could probably check to see if the user has access and if not, display a more meaningful message.

I totally agree. Some sysops contributed that code and have since vanished or are no longer intereseted in supporting it. You have any interest in fixing it?

Perhaps, although currently I am using echicken's ecwebv4 (I recently decided to totally switch my web side over), and the error message that was shown looks like it's from the Runemaster web interface?

I still haven't taken the time to figure out how to use ecwebv3 ... looks like I may be 'buggin' ya'll soon LOL ... hell, I am still trying to figure out how to place a simple system.popen call into either Default or Nightshade Theme :/

It most likely means that web UI is generating invalid URLs in some
cases and some web crawler is trying to follow them.

Right. I did just commit a patch however that should resolve it.
what i have currently set up is that some groups are visible to all but certain
users cannot see the areas inside them... kinda like a "here's what you

Not so sure. This message: 'msg_area.grp[grp] is undefined' means
that for this particular user, the group itself is undefined. This
could mean that the script is trying to reference a group that doesn't exist, or that the current user doesn't have access to (doesn't exist
for them).
If it were a matter them trying to look at a sub that they don't have access to, I'd expect the error to point to something like:
msg_area.sub[sub] is undefined
or
msg_area.grp_list[grp].sub_list[sub] is undefined
In any event it's probably just bots doing bot things. I doubt if an actual user browsing your site would run into this scenario. We could make the web UI handle this more gracefully, but then I wrote a whole other web UI so that I wouldn't have to work on this one. :D

The 'virtual hosts' functionality of the webserver could be involved here. If those subdomains still point to your server (even in cached DNS somewhere out there) then your server is handling those requests and
to figure out what to do with them.
You could add/remove the VIRTUAL_HOSTS option from the webserver's
Options line in sbbs.ini and see what changes.
With VIRTUAL_HOSTS enabled, you could create subdirectories under your
web document root such as:
sbbs/web/root/forums.wpusa.dynip.com/
and they would be treated as the effective docroot for requests to these domains.
We could adapt your 404 or one of your other error scripts to do
something special for these cases.

And with the latest code, they should just an a 404 error now (not a

If they get a 404, then the 404.ssjs script will be executed. (So: yes.)
