Who are Bing, Baidu, Yandex, Google, and Applebot? - Honey Saucer Gengar - 06-19-2018
Who are these and why can't I look at there profiles or see them on the forums?

They're search engine spiders. They visit MFGG (and other sites) so that MFGG can appear in search engine results. MyBB automatically detects them as bot users, so they have a special status on the forums.

I mean... surely you know who Google is lol
Google and other search engines can give you sites in search results because they go to them and record everything on the page. When you see these guys in the online users section, it means they're recording the site right now.

Look out for these guys, I wouldn't mess with them. Theyre B.O.T.S. Buff Opressive Tough Studs.
Seriously... watch out.
