Well, this is what i have so far:
PHP Code:
// check if user is a bot
$lvgbot = ($vbulletin->superglobal_size['_COOKIE'] == 0 AND preg_match("#(google|msnbot|zoints|aol|yahoo|slurp|FeedFetcher-Google|FeedBurner|WorldIndexer|Yahoo! Slurp|Majestics MJ12bot|Voyager|Technorati|Googlebot-Image|BlogPulse|blogsearch|Feedster|SBIder|ColdFusion

It seems once you install this, that it write's to phpmyadmin, so you have to continue forward with it....Uninstalling it didn't change the bot's being denied access......
I also installed the
Member Bots 1.0 per the instruction's......
I will let ya'll know how this works out....
