How to unbanned Bots ?

[kevinviet]

Hi Guys
A year ago one of the guy help maintenance my board and he said he had banned of the bots to come to my board, since that time to now i don't see any bots visit my board. Now i want to unban it, how do i unban all the bots ?
Thanks for your help

[Stoker]

He has probably banned their IP addresses.
So you have to look up the bots IP and see if its banned.

also goto phpbb.com and search for a bot install script adds over 100 bots to your forum

To Stoker : I don't think he banned bots IP address because I cleared all IP address banned for a while and don't see any bots visited.
To Steve : I still see 50 bots listed on my board is it mean they still in there ? but don't know how to make them active agian.

Thanks for the tips

goto acp > general > spiders/robots >
on that page make sure there active ,if they are then stoker is correct the ip address has been banned.

Thank you Steve

Then they were never banned but deactivated.
Deactivating bots doesnt ban them, it just makes them use the guest permissions instead of the bots permission.
