Blocking Google Web accelerator

I've noticed some vBulletin powered sites have blocked users with the web accelerator enabled and are giving a message with instructions to turn of the GWA in order to access the forums. e.g whackbag.com displays this message

Quote:

Access Denied..

Reasons you may encounter this page:
(1) You are using a proxy. proxys are not permitted to access this server.
(2) You are using a toolbar that changes your IP address. If you are using google's web accelerator , Please turn it off for access to wackbag.
(3) You may have been banned by one of the staff.

Your current IP is: 64.233.173.106
All info has been logged.

Does anyone know how they've done that?

I can't wait to see the code to block that toolbar.

This is useless hits to our sites and just plain internet pollution.

It's EVIL in fact. Follow your own credo Mr. Google, Stop the EVIL!

There is a proxy script here that will keep users with proxys out

try contacting google at labs+webaccelerator@google.com, they can answer your question about this. you can probably block the cache bot or request it not to web accelerate the site/page. their faq doesnt answer this except about increased server load if pages are cacheable
