I have bookmarked the main page, and when I click on it sometimes it says that there are e.g. 1 member and 2 guests reading, and it says "Blissyu2, Google.com, Yahoo.com". Why does it say this? What does it mean? Does this mean that Google.com and Yahoo.com spiders are reading the forum or someone is doing a search and finding this page via their caches or what? Does anyone have any idea what it means?

I wasn't aware that non-admins could view that, but yes, that's exactly what that means. A search engine bot is indexing the forum.

Google.com got here first. About a week later, Yahoo showed up. And MSN just now started poking around. But yeah, it's just shows the bot activities.
