Yes, they aren't harming anyone though. They are just doing their bot things.

Ones such as Google [Bot] or Yahoo [Bot], or even Bing [Bot], are just the search engine's spiders (thats what they are refered to) just indexing (and possibly cacheing the pages too) the many forums, sub-forums, threads, user profiles, and stuff like that. phpBB, which is the software the Cutstuff Message Board (not the blog, just the message board) runs off of, has somewhere around 50+ bot profiles included with a phpBB installation. Don't worry about having to deal with them. Not even CutmanMike has to do anything to let them work! phpBB basically does all the work for you.
