White Tree Spiders! They're Everywhere!

Well, we should all know by now that when you open up the Who's Online, we're not alone. Search programs called "spiders" are around the downs, archiving our site to their search engine. They've always been there, but we're never noticed. Until now. With the recent update in our vBulletin, we have been contacted by these spiders. We are aware of them, and as always, they have been aware of us. Now, the more accurate Who's Online detects the spiders, and considers them guest. There's two different ways of looking at it. Either A, Thanks to the spiders, we've noticed interesting threads that we never knew exsisted, or B, these spiders are ruining our count, and we'll never know our true numbers. What side do you take?
