Other than that, it's a noise you make when you eat spagetti

I dunno, I never bother to look at who's on. Cause I don't care. I just press, "View new posts" and Eevee is on her way. Well the forum was running pretty slow for me lastnight, maybe they implemented something?

Yahoo! Slurp is a web-indexing robot.

Search engines have Spiders, or scripts, that "crawl" around the web to index it. They don't all go everywhere, most of them have to have a link submitted first. Basically it checks for updates and new pages within sites. Most go around the bigger sites every day or two, others it checks every month or so.

Slurp is just the name of one of Yahoo!'s spiders.

Search engines can't just look around the entire internet when you search for something (that would be WAY too slow even if it was possible). URLs have to be sent to it, and from those URLs it finds other sites. It uses its "spider" programs to find out which sites are still there, and what's on them, and that information is actually what's being searched when you search on google or yahoo or anything. Sites with lots of visitors are "crawled' more often, which is why sometimes you find outdated pages & fan sites if you search on google.
