I'm fairly new here and if this isn't the forum to ask this question I apologize. I noticed on the main Forum page on the right side a box that lists Users Online Now. At the bottom of that box there is a summary of the individual status. Members (I'm guessing registered), Guests (unregistered?) and Robots. Just now I saw that there were 15 Robots on line. Can anyone tell me what these Robots are and their purpose? On another site we belong to there was an attack mounted on it in which robots infected the domain and harvested all the photos that were posted. It was not a pleasant situation and it took a while for the administration to rid the site of them and block future accesses. I appreciate any information provided.
They are bots from google and other search engines.

If I know my science fiction, chastity would destroy a robot. It would go something like: Cannot come … must come … cannot come … must come … cannot come … must come … <sparks and explosion>
