Hopefully it’s not actually a person but I just noticed it in the main forum! I tried clicking it (on mobile) and no profile showed up so I assume it’s actually a bot!
What’s it for :0

I couldn’t tell you
There’s also Bing [Bot] and a lot more others. It’s a PHPBB thing, all the other PHPBB forums have those bots as well
My guess? it’s the google bot indexing the forum for it’s search engine

Oh interesting! Did you add it in yourself or did it just come with the forum?
