A sort of spambot that just sits on e-groups and gathers data. On email groups they harvest emails. Yahoo groups used to, and probably still is infested with thousands. Once a group hit a certain threshold theyd swarm it and just sit there.

No clue what theyd be doing on a forum but seen them park on others. Though Id guess not the absurd numbers yahoo gets. theres like 70 or 80 guests and a few spiders on at the moment. Could be some of the guests are searchbots. Who knows.
