What the hell a spider or googlebot is. Should I be worried? They're all over my board, apparently pushing buttons, trying to edit posts, etc. Earlier they were checking out my archives- what are these things? It sounds so ominous- are they gonna haxor me or something? lol

These are the robots that search engines use to index your site for their search pages. Most people like to have these because it means more people will be able to find your site. If for some reason you don't want this, then you can use a robots.txt file to keep them out.

Ah- so I see- I'm all over Google now- before it returned nothing on a search- now we come up even with certain terms we use on the board! Cool- thanks!
