Robots?

pardon my being computer illiterate. On the upper right side of the board it tells how many Members, guests, and robots are on the board at the moment. What the hell is a robot?

Hi Jim - robots, or "Bots" are automated programs that search engines use to go out and harvest content that is cached for internet searches. They are why Google is incredibly fast ... they are always out crawling for content and "pre-building" results for searches.

I have been a little surprised at how much Bot activity there is on this board. I expected it to be big when we first rolled out the new board and then go away. It doesn't seem to have gone away.

So robots are a good thing? I envisioned some kind of evil hacking device from a third world country that are trying to clone a Morgan 38 from our photos and descriptions.
