They're very rare in Quake nowadays. Never really took off in Q3 anyway, 
bot cheaters started out in Q2 and migrated to Counter-Strike for the 
most part. I wouldn't worry about it. Never met one myself even when I 
played Q2 on a daily basis. <g>

Course, there's the other kind of bot, the AI opponents, but they cheat 
anyway ;)
