A bot in our system?

I was just about to log out when I saw what looks like a bot using the forum. The name was not only greyed out, but also unclickable (you know, as if you were to access their profile). Thought the admin might want to investigate. :)

I see those from time to time as well, but haven't seen any negative repercussions!

Answer: You may see them on occasion - Googlebot, Bingbot, etcetc. They're crawlers for the major search engines, and index the site for visibility through said search engines. Outside of said indexing, they literally do nothing else.

Oh that's a relief. And it makes sense. Thanks! ^^
