A couple ?'s 'bout this site..

You know the little squares that are either green or grey that say "- is on a distinguished road" or "- is at an unknown quantity..." What do they mean? Maybe i'm blind but I have looked in the FAQ and can't find the answer to my question! Also, if you go to the "who's online" section, there is always a "spider" viewing forums, What the heck is that??

The green bars are reputation and you earn more of it as you post and the longer you have been a member. After a while you will also be able to add to other peoples reputation. I am not sure if you can see this icon

in the lower left hand corner of each post. If you can, you can click on this and add to that posters reputation.

The spider are the bots of search engines. They "spider" their way through the site taking note of the information on the site and sending it back to the search engine. For the most part they are good and welcomed.
