My experience with bot accounts on a forum is that they are there to spam the boards with ads. One of my friends boards got overrun with bots and there were literally THOUSANDS of spam posts. It wasn't fun cleaning that up. Also, as we've seen from a few of the bot accounts, they have links in their profiles. Get enough of these and when search engines come through, they don't see horror site, they start seeing links for porn and viagra. It's not pretty.
