this beats anything i have ever seen yahoo spiders have a love affair with my forums most people are happy to have a spider or 3 but i have had as many as 600 yahoo spiders on my board at once .. i have played with a robots.txt and the only way i can slow them down is by disallowing access to my forums which defeats the purpose of having spiders on your forums when they cant read it .. i dont mind them being there but a few would be nice rather then by the 100's

check the robots.txt file for this site -> vbulletin.com/forums/robots.txt
you can setup a crawl delay.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
