Bots are those automated thingies that trawl the web. They are often collecting data for search engines or analytical data for statistics. Don't worry if you see one though, they are harmless and can't get at anything they shouldn't - even if it looks like they're everywhere in reality they have limited access to the board.

I only asked because Bot happens to be the first three letters of the username of my PC - I thought it was something to do with me! Der!
