What does it mean when it says x amount of members, x amount of guests and x amount of SPIDERS on ine?

It means these people are on the forum now (or at least within the last 20 minutes or so)

Guests are people that don't log in with a username and password

Members are people like you and I

Spiders are what places like Google send out to the Internet to log (crawl) websites and the content (Spider, crawling, web - get it). They are computer programmes and not actually people. They then send back what they have found so next time someone searches for Stavros Flatley in Calis on google, they will hopefully give this forum as a possible place to visit

Toky, I asked a couple of weeks ago and got the following answer, from the boss himself.

Ok Steve beat me to it.

Ah Steve, it was the spider thingy that I really was questioning. Thanks, very interesting. Do the "spiders" work the same for Stavros Flately NOT in Calis? 

[Steve (redding43)]

They will now - as you just typed it on this forum!

And now of anyone searches for "Toky likes Stavros Flately" they'll be directed here too.
