I see Google [Bot] logged on as a registered user. Is this something related to this site, or is it a spamming entity?

Google bots (or spiders) are programs sent out by Google to search, scan, and log information on forums and other websites. They help in gathering new members, because without them, when someone would type "penny forum" into Google, Realcent wouldn't show up, or would appear lower on the listings.
