robots.txt not working!
 

My site was suspended yesterday by my shared hosting provider for using too much resources.

So, I am attempting to stop all robots from indexing the site at least temporarily while I work on this.

Right now I have 4 members and like 53 visitors, many of which are Google Spider, Yahoo! Slurp Spider, Turnitin.com Spider and MSNBot Spider.

Just to test this out, I just put the most repressive robots.txt file for the forums that I could think of, which is:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /forum/

(the forum folder is on the root level of my public_html folder, i.e. www.mysite.com/forum).

The robots.txt file is also on the root of the public_html folder.

Yet, I still have all of these robots crawling around the forums!! How do I get them to stop??! This file seems to have no effect whatsoever! Thanks....
