a googlebot or googleBOTT?

Glad to see the forum back up.

LOL....As if I had not heard something like that before. :)

The message you had up didn't make sense, how did you expect google to contact you when your contact page was also disabled?

I sent an email to the only address I found but here is some Google info anyway

Google offers webmaster tools at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/sitestatus

one of the tools is a page that lets you add variables to your robots.txt file and test the to limit the google bots

Details for blocking the Google bots can be found here as well http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=40364&query=googlebot&topic=&type=

Trust me, I was contacted with 15 mins of that note going up. Google does know us. :)
