It seems to be working well keeping the bots away that were constantly spamming my site but unfortunatly it seems to be keeping all of the spiders away... I am getting nothing anymore.....
Should I be using this???

If i were you, I would remove that. Having bots is good, blocking them is is just going to slow the spreading of your site. I would recomdend not using it

If i was you i would use bots becuase the get your site on google and other search engines, you never know how many visitors you might get. . .

There are different kinds of bots. Of course I want to allow google etc... The bots on this list are supposed to be the other kinds of bots that go onto your site and register etc...

...And if you don't have image verification, then you can use this

Nice code Richieboy67, although it would only be used in a few cases, it can still be used
