Why is googlebot emailing people? What purpose do this serve? I only ask because I don't have any idea why googlebot would be doing this.

It’s probably just loading the e-mail links. I would assume it isn’t intelligent enough to skip them. Invision will give the robot an error like any other guest who tries to e-mail. However, that is not reflected on the online list, making the status a bit misleading.

"Hey you sexy beast. What’s your name, I saw you on anything forums and I couldn’t resist talking to such a strong, smart man. Please email me again and please don’t tell Tak about this, he might get jealous. "
