Being grossly illiterate regarding techspeak, the term "BOTS" is not familiar. Can you please increase my meager knowledge base?

Internet Bot
The Bots that are "members" here are scripts/programs that monitor activity on the forum, ie. Google [Bot] reports activity here to Google to keep their search results up to date and current.
