try this in init.php look for :
Code:
if (!empty($db->explain))
{
$db->timer_stop(false);
}
/*======================================================================*\
and replace with :
Code:
if ($is_bot == 1) {
$vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] = XX;
}
if (!empty($db->explain))
{
$db->timer_stop(false);
}
/*======================================================================*\
change the 2 XX in red with the usergroup you want.
