On the main page all the way at the bottom it shows currently active users. At the very end of that list, recently, there have been these (in some form or another): Google(6), Google Images(4), Bing(6), Google AdSense(5), MSNBot(5), BoardPulse, Google Web Preview, Yandex Bot, Facebook(2), Sogou

What exactly does that mean? What are these?

It also says this: Currently Active Users: 91 (41 members and 18 guests and 32 spiders)

Judging by the number, those up there are spiders. WTF is that?
