Okay, I have followed everything you have said. I have noticed 2 things since all these changes.

1) The amount of spam has increased - although this seems a widespread vBulletin problem.

2) The spiders visiting and indexing my forum have dropped. I was checking the sitemap, and compared to previous visits, it seems a ghost town. I had hundreds of Googlebot visits before, now i have no more than 10 - the same goes for all bots. Is this to do with my .htaccess? This is what I have:

# Allow Archiver
User-agent: ia_archiver
Allow: /


User-agent: Slurp
Crawl-delay: 60


User-agent: *

Disallow: *.php
Disallow: *.js
Disallow: *.jsp
Disallow: *.cfm
Disallow: *.asp
Disallow: *.html
Disallow: *.htm
Disallow: *.aspx
Disallow: *.cgi

Disallow: /includes/
Disallow: /install/
Disallow: /customavatars/
Disallow: /archive/
Disallow: /sitemap/

Sitemap: http://www.adminfuel.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Any help?
