Probably things like crawlers and spam bots. Not sure about the google one, that seems off.

A lot of guests will be random people from the gmod community searching for things related to gmod. FL forums have collected a ton of information over the years that random people may find. I.e. if you search for "gmod crotch guns" these forums will appear as one of the first results with a fix to that particular bug.
I'm not sure if this is still the case, but some years ago when joining the server you would be greeted by the website in the f1 menu causing a lot of guest users on the forums; these being players from in-game. Aaaand then you have your typical crawlers, some of them will appear with names though (google, bing, etc.)

Don't worry it's just my minions archiving and indexing the forums for me. /s
I blame bots and webspiders, always taking but never giving.
