What do the Google and Bing bots do?
Noticed them as been user on line and wondered of that was to enable a search from within the forum or to allow "Rev to the limit" to be searchable to the outside world?

Re: What do the Google and Bing bots do?
I think it's when someone has come here from the search engine... but i must admit, i don't know 100%.
I can add/remove/block etc any bots, there's quite a list, although only the ones you'd expect have accessed the site.A bot/crawler is what is used by search engines such as google and website directories such as yahoo to index your website for the directory or search engine.
