I just found this interesting... why is GoogleBot listed as an active user?

It isn't.

He paid for CC membership
(inside joke for those that like inside jokes )

I'd be more interested in knowing why googlebot appers in the registered users online list.
"Guests" don't show up except by total count. Why isn;t google counted as a guest?

I have seen this 'guy' on multiple boards, could something with the boardsettings?!?

Wonder just how many forums this guy gets around to... he seems to only be lurking on here

I saw something in the admin's forum (my own forum) about GoogleBot. It asked what should GoogleBot be? As Guest? Member? Banned?.

Also other names as well.. HotBot, etc...
