    Wow, never know this was possible. I googled a bit around and read the wiki article about it. It's interesting. I wonder how long it would take the web crawler to download everything. Thanks for this info, Damar.
    Dear people, I am not much around because right now games and riddles don't fit in my life. You may PM me for help with riddles I once played, but there is only a very slim chance I will answer because remembering how to solve levels takes quite a lot of time and I don't have that time right now. Thank you for understanding.

    Thanks Becky. My old reliable sites have all changed so much (most want $$) I knew I could count on GH for fresh ideas.

    How did the terms Google Spider and Yahoo! Slurp Spider originate? When viewing Whos Online I see those quite a bit mingled with Guests.

    I am not sure if I understand your question correctly, but those are just bots who gather information for the search engines google and yahoo.
    If you mean how the software of this site recognize them as bots, probably because the host of the IP they use share this info. In example lj513391.crawl.yahoo.net

    Here is a small snapshot. I see Becky there playing in the game contest. Are you saying those Slurp Spiders (viewing user profiles) are not real people?

    Yep, they're not real people just bots.

    Here are some articles about it.
