The Dreaded Lull
Kelda:
Heh, Phillip has explained this to us mods,
Generally bots/spiders will sense activity in a thread and will send in a bot to index all information for google etc etc.
So when one of us has gone into to look at this old thread bots have followed. Becasue its such a large thread and older, one bot can't index the thread all on its own and so brings in all its friends to help.
Its nothing to worry about and doesn't mean anyone is spying on us. Just means maybe one person today has gone in for a look at it. I know I go in there every so often to look at everyones pretty pics!

What Kelda said. :)
Those crazy spiders had me running for my LIFE a couple of months ago. I noticed dozens of them inside my threads and it had me feeling a bit paranoid. But then Phillip, John and Clarissa explained it to me. Those spiders are quite harmless, and they are nothing to worry about. But it's a bit creepy looking, isn't it Dottie? I just ignore them now. :D
