On the bottom of the main page it lists "Google.com", "MSN.com" and "Yahoo.com". How does that work? They don't link to anything either.

They are search engines. they "visit" the site to see how much traffic it gets.

google.com is 'visiting' the site and recording data from the forum so it can be used in their search engine. same with the others.

It's how search engines gather their information. They send "webcrawlers" across the internet to pretty much record everything they come across. Some forum boards are able to recognize these webcrawlers and display them as guests on the forum. Anthony could probably get rid of these names on the online list if he wanted to.

it the search engine spiders go Google what spiders do and you'll understand
