When I look at the bottom of the Board Index page, I can see who's signed on to the forum. One of the registered members signed on is Google [Bot]. I am curious. Who/what is that?
-
It is a bot that is searching something on the forum, most likely somebody is looking for something on the web and the bot (just happened to be a google search) hit on something that matched in our forum.
Say I did a search on raising queens through a google search engine.

What I thought was interesting was that it was listed as a Registered User.

The software registers about 50 bots before we ever set up the forum. It helps get us on the search engines.

Got it. Thanks :)

Most forums set it so only the admins and mods can see the bots on who's online. We will do the same if we ever get a free moment.
