Edit: Oh lol, just saw it today, I remember already saw that one time before.

Hey guys, use the search bar :D I wondered the same thing so I looked it up a while ago. Heres what I found
It's google's bot that indexes the posts in the public areas - we have allowed these kind of bots as they do not post any spam and are useful for searching the forums

From what I know, they're just automatic things that browse the forums (not real people) and are used for the Google search engine, so we can easily find the site. It may also be used when caching pages (another Google feature) :)

Yup they scan all text on forum.

Even this sentence if I'm correct:

Code: Select all
