Ah, the Slurp Spider. This is a search engine spider (for Yahoo in this case) that crawls all over the forum looking for key words for use with its ranking system and search engine criteria. Spiders are our friends because they improve our rankings, however from what I've read online often they don't do anything with the information they've gathered in which case they seem rather useless.
Hope this helps.
