What are "Robots"?

[fozzieisfunny]

Okay, hopefully, I can calm down enough to say this, but I was just on the MC homepage when I saw that apart from the total number of members and guests, there was a number of the total of ROBOTS!!!! Does that mean, like, spambots, or Is it just a glitch? In advance, thanks, Hope you can help me.

Robots are most often search engines that are continuously crawling (or spidering) sites for new content. And since forums are continuously updated, this requires a lot of work to stay current.
