Oh yeah, I remember. There are bots around trying to register and spam the whole forum, I remember encountering some of these.
Probably spider bots that make up the majority of that number, though. They aren't bad. They pretty much determine the ranking for web pages within search results. Basically they are search engine explorer bots for exploring content, organization and linking. Spam bots and ad bots are the malicious kind and we deal with them on a regular basis, but we rarely get more than 5 on a good week.
