Question: What are "Spiders" in this forum?

Spiders! What are they?

 

Unless it means something different on this forum, a spider (or crawler) is identified by forum software as not a person, but a search engine's scanning of the forum so that when you go to that search engine, and type in campinn, this forum will be one of the results. Bing, Google, yahoo, those kind of things. Also if you type in something like..." Rick teardrop fold vs stuff " ... first hit a thread here.

 

Thank you for the info. Interesting how a search engine works that way.
