Thanks, Giz --
I'm not sure these are search bots, though.... In the attached photo, Who's Online shows 1 registered members (1 invisible), 2,975 guests, and 17 spiders -- and most of those 3000 (and it's been up past 6000) are on the "Logging in" page...
I'll try adding those Disallow lines. I already had the following, so added the ones I didn't already have (including the login ones) and hopefully it makes a difference! Would like to figure out the Cloudflare issues to further secure the forums (I can to disconnect Cloudflare for now)....
