.... please welcome the search bots

The search bots scan every thread in these forums and register them in search engine databases such as google, inktomi, yahoo etc etc. Pretty neat.

look at the users online thing at the bottom of the page. They are the Inktomi bots, part of the Yahoo system. They are basically scanning the entire boards.
