| Web crawlers. Robots, spiders, scripts, whatever you want to name them. They are often run by search engines or archive sites and index areas of the site. They have no more access to the forum than a guest would, unless you give them explicit access somewhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler | |

| Yeah, that's how search engines are made >.> web crawlers go through every website and search through it, seeing which links it's connected to, in search of websites that haven't been noticed by them before. | |
