Does anyone know what it means when it shows things like google.com or archive.org as active users at the bottom of the forum index?
Just curious.

They're "crawlers" or "spiders" used by search engines like Google, MSN and others. They go from link to link and store the text and the keywords from the pages in a database.
"Googlebot" is the name of Google's spider software.
