Hi,
I use MSN Messenger (feel free to add me) and have noticed that there always seems to be a user listed as active on the forums (under 'Users Online') called 'MSNBot'.
Who or what is this?

Like the googlebots and various other search engine bots at work; You'll note some forum topics come up on google/msn/etc search engines. Those bots are doing the work of the indexing and gathering information and such like.

I always wondered the same thing, but never wanted to admit it. Thanks for the answer (and the original question).
