Yahoo! Slurp Spider

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I just checked out the Who's Online page and all the guests are basically Yahoo! Slurp Spider (excluding a few MSN and Google spiders)... why are there so many of them?!

P.S. I do know what they are, but I thought there should only be one?

But it isn't actually a real person... surely one could just monitor forum updates?

Anyone with loadsa knowledge on these things know? :P
