Bing and Google forum members

[F.M.]

At the bottom of the index page, Bing and Google are listed as registered forum members{BOTS}.
Is this a sign of artificial intelligence, why would they join ?

I think they're robots that visit every webpage in the world, cataloging them for the search engines.

I guess they'd have to be allowed in as registered users to see everything.

They can't be THAT artifically intelligent if they want to be animators, the pay is lousy.
