Does anyone know how to get rid of spiders and bots from a phpBB Forum?
Getting +10 Bots each week and have been trying to find a way to ... stop them from finding my forum.


-thanks!

well u can make it so that they have to have permission to get on your forums, that would be the first step of it... let me look into it more

The robots text we use here is simply:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

It can be found here:

http://www.knights-reborn.org/robots.txt

Basically what the robots.txt file we have running on our site does is stop every search engine from accessing any part of our site. I made this decision that I didn't want any robots crawling our site because all of our website traffic comes by word of mouth and the server- incase anyone was wondering why.

Hope that helps Aki- if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask,

Well I can't see what you were using before you have seemed to have deleted the file. I also couldn't find a robots.txt file present on your site, make sure that it is named "robots.txt" otherwise search engines will not take any notice of it.

Spies & Spiders!!
They still keep comming, atleast 1 each day.
Is there anything i have to do besides putting ''robots.txt'' in the root(s)?

It has to go in the root of your website.

In your case it has to be www.akikun.com/robots.txt

It can't be www.akikun.com/phpBB2/robots.txt.
