Answer: The google.com "member" is really just someone looking at eurobricks through Google, but not acctually on EB (this happens when there is a google toolbar above the site you are looking at). Case closed. I hope that answered any questions about this matter.

google.com is a bot that searches our board for relevant entries for their search engine. It is integrated into our new board system.

I was wrong then. Thank you for shedding some light on the subject, Apo. Can a mod please close this topic?

Just to add some more information (even though the thread is closed) this process is known as "spidering" or "web crawling", and since I can't be bothered explaining lets use the definition from The Free Dictionary

Also known as a "Web crawler," "spider," "ant," "robot" (bot) and "intelligent agent," a crawler is a program that searches for information on the Web. It is used to locate HTML pages by content or by following hypertext links from page to page. Search engines use crawlers to find new Web pages that are summarized and added to their indexes.
