"What are the Bots on my forum and what do they do?

Bots are automated scripts (usually referred to as spiders) which crawl the web and index content, sites, and forums for various search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. They do not represent any harm to your forum, and should generally be left alone as they can help bring in users to your forum who may be searching for information that is on your forum."
