- yahoo is now always in the archives, googlebot almost always not
- googlebot still goes to pages like printthread and member.php , and that even with a robot.txt disallowing that to happen.

i've thought about it some more.
301 code just tells the bot that the link has permanently moved. it would take a second request from the spider to actually jump to the archives. if the spider is slow (as googlebot and msnbot typically are), i can see how it would appear as though googlebot was sitting in showthread, instead of being directed to the archive....
