external.php / exclude forums

[tomshawk]

Hello Everyone,

I have well over 200 forums on my site.

I have added a few articlebots on my site, and well, people who use my external.php would rather not get the threads from the bots.

I have put these bots in there own forums, is there a way or can someone code a variable to exclude these forums.

I'd rather do this then have a feed string that is huge which includes all forums except these few.

As a side thought, can I move these into there own catagory, then just link to all catagories except this one. Would that work?
