I have never seen this on any other forum I belonged to. I see someone or something logged in as "Google (bot) and Yahoo (bot). Can any explain what that is? |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googlebot Basically, it's the search engines indexing pages here. |

Those bots are automated web surfers collecting data to use in search results. They aren't new, you just haven't noticed them before. Some forums don't show them as logged in. |
