Can there be a check box that will hide known bots? There is a huge amount of Yahoo! bots that is just filling up the list.

I think what I'll do is combine all the bots of a certain type into one "user," and apply that to index.php as well. I'm tired of it saying 600 people are online when over half are Yahoo bots. 
(Why does Yahoo need to have so many IP addresses? ¬_¬)

Why does Yahoo! need 300+ bots on these forums anyway?

The problem is they distribute their requests over hundreds of unique IPs, whereas GoogleBot only uses a few IPs at a time.
