Trying the ban IP mod now.

On a side note, I help several people run other VB sites and I've been installing this spider ban mod as a default thing on all of their sites and putting in my list of user agents to ban/block. I recently installed it on a 3.6 site and it doesn't seem to be working. Is there a different hook I need to use for it to work with 3.6? Thought you might know.

EDIT: Maybe it is working and I spoke too soon. I have that pesky Baidu spider banned due to the amount of indexing it does without any regard to server resources. There were about 50 Baidu bots crawling the site but the number seems to be gradually going down (at about 20 right now). I'll keep checking it to see if Baidu disappears for good and then I'll know for sure whether it's working on 3.6 or not.
