WTF is a Yahoo! Slurp Spider? A spam bot or something? It's listed in the currently active users section!?!?:confused:

Now I'm getting a little curious about this bugger.

Gracias senor,

Both are 'bots' or 'spiders' that crawl the site and extract information from each page for a search engine index. This is then utilised when you do a search. They're welcome here because it gives us more chance of getting a decent hit from someone who searchs for a relevent search term on a search engine. It's how we get new members.
