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

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.
