NYM Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Under "Online Now" there are visitors, bots, and then members. There's always at least one bot online. Anyone know what they are, or what they are used for? Just wondering. I noticed it the other day.

MarkB Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 If you do a Google search and you get a result on an MVPMods.com thread, the "bot" has provided it. Basically, the "bot" goes through all the threads on MVPMods.com, takes a note of their contents, then sends the data back to Google so that if you search for something on Google, you'll get results in the forums.
