    I've seen this in forums and I'm just curious about what it means.

    They're a combination of actual people and search engine 'spiders'. :slight_smile:

    Prior to registering, you all would have been one of those people recognised as a guest. Additionally, search engines send their spiders here to index the community, which is how most (if not all) will likely have found us in search engine results! :slight_smile:

    Ah, now I get it, I'd never heard of spiders before :icon_redf. Thanks for replying, I really appreciate it (*hug*). Curiosity always gets the better of me; if I were a cat I would be a zombie by now :icon_wink.

    P.S. Cool signature.

    People who self-delete here become guests as well, you'll probably see that around.
