Deity Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 msn.com, etc. I don't seem to know what they are, or what their purpose is. Can anyone explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanz Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Basically, they just help search engines find us and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tino Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 And to be a bit more specific, bots like GoogleBot collect documents/webpages to create a searchable index/list for the search engine they're designed for. I hope I worded that well enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deity Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah, the reason I asked was because I've seen them lately reading FW: Darkness Rising and I was like..."What the.." I thought they were some sort of members or somn. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 They as a matter of fact are members of some sort, they just don't appear in the user list and have no posting rights. They have the so-called "Bot rights" or "Bot permissions" or whatever Invision Power Board calls it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
