    Yes, "spiders" are content indexing programs used by Yahoo, Google and the like to index site content. That's how Google or Yahoo can show you stuff when you do a search. They have to come along and find it first so they know to tell you about it.

    The site owner can block robots : then your site doesn't appear in search engine results. Which may be good or bad.

    Sorry to revive old threads, but these things are looking at user profiles too. What's the deal with that, surely they can't get any info from our profiles?

    They're after your username so they can PM you special offers on Viagra or Russian Brides.

    Seriously.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
