I'm a big user of many forums but I haven't ever heard of the term "spider". Until now. There are registered users, guests and spiders in this forum. I checked the faq's and couldn't find what they are so....

 

What are spiders?

Web trawlers. little automated programs that follow hyperlinks and log the site urls and pack them off to google or whatever search engine is using them.

So named because they crawl around the (world wide) web.

haha, I get it now. Where I'm from they're known as spybots or the like.

 

Thanks.:)
