Re: Googlebot, MSNbot and Yahoo Slurp
These are the bots used by Google, MSN and Yahoo crawling this page for new content, so that you can find it using Google's, MSN's or Yahoo's search engines...

Except for this guy. He's a real person and picked that username to confuse people.

Re: Googlebot, MSNbot and Yahoo Slurp
You don't create them, the bots are on the servers of the companies that run them (for example, Google Bot is on Google's servers). They are just programmed to periodically check sites for the latest content. phpBB 3 recognises them and IDs them in the 'users online' section.
