Default Yahoo! Slurp Spider

When I view Who's Online, I see tons of Slurp Spiders. Is this new for the BAUT? I assume they are the same as Googlebots. Does this mean the BAUT has subscribed to Yahoo!, too?

Yeah, they're spiders crawling the forum to index it for the search engines. Usually these are hidden from the users. Some option must have gotten switched with the update.
