Can we use the robots?

Total: 190 (members: 14, guests: 136, robots: 40)
I mean, if there are 40 robots around, and only 14 members, can't we put them to good use?
At the very least, some sweeping and mopping.

Actually I'd like someone to explain exactly what or who are these robots and what are they up to???

I would guess they are search engine robots that are indexing the text and photos on the site so it can be part results for future searches. Although we only think of Bing, Google, Yahoo! and a few others when we think of search engines, there are so many others so 40 search engine robots is entirely believable. Some of the 40 web robots could also be used by spammers that search various websites looking for email addresses to inundate with spam messages.

And of course Arnold Schwarzenegger promised 'he'd be back'. The least he could do is 'terminate' a few spambots on the way back in.
