Anyone know what the hell these things are on the main forum index? There down at the bottem with the list of who's online. Everytime I see it I think about Transformers...(Man Im posting a sh*t load of stuff tonight, I might catch Havok at this paste.)

I believe that means a bot (a program) from Yahoo or MSN is currently viewing the page. They use those to 'index' the internet to make it easier to search.
Or, it's a Transformer. Either way.

I had wondered what these things were as well, I figured that they were indexing programs, but now that you brought of the Transformer theory, I believe that is much more plausible. As long as there are no decepticons, we are good.

No we need the decepticons to keep the balance. We cant have a bunch of good guys hanging around all the time with nothing to do! Bring on the Decepticons! :twisted:

Yes, of course, more Decepticons. Mayhem in the streets is very entertaining.
On topic: Bots are very hard to program.
Back off topic: Did anyone else think that the body-count of the transformers movie deserved an R rating? I mean, several hundred people died in those downtown city battles. Sure, they didn't show the mangled bodies flying through the air, but jeez, you knew someone was getting crushed every 5 seconds.
Back on topic: Bots are programs from search.....<no carrier>
