There's gotta be a serious amount of lurkers on this site.

Which is cool, but seriously, you people should sign up.

They are bots that are sent out by the search engines to search over and index sites. It is a good thing, for the most part.

They also attempt to PM people and create threads...all they do is index. Try doing a search on your username, and don't be surprised if your profile comes up, or an old thread that you posted in.
