Bots?
Don't know where this could go, but...
Has anyone ever taken a look at the last page of "Currently Active Users"? Sometimes, some of the usernames are "MSNBot Spider" and "Yahoo! Slurp Spider". Are these post bots? If not, what are they? |

Re: Bots?
They're crawlers, used to gather webpages for search engines.

Re: Bots?
As I understand it, search engines use bots to crawl the web and download every page they can so that the pages can be cached for searching. I assume that's what those spiders are for.
