What does it mean...

[Grievous 3D]

when it reads that "22 Bots" are in here?

I is not understanding what that means...

 

[¡Tranquilo!]

Bots are just little programs/applications set to do one or several automated task. I obviously don't know how the site works but odds are those bots are just things for the site like the news bot or an announcement bot and shit like that.

They are website crawlers pulling information to display in search results, tweets and the like. Also to determine what a thread is about to display more relevant ads.

To build on this: Google slurps your thread so that your content gets indexed on the search engine. Yahoo/Bing = same.
Facebook/Twitter/whatever social media slurps your first 2 sentences so that it can display your thread's image or images and/or content to be displayed on the network when you link to the thread.
Other bots have their ideal ways of doing things, but in general, your content is being slurped so that it's indexed somewhere.
