it could be more than one bot ?, maybe they all gathered at your site all at once, it seems to happen alot for my Tottenham Forum, i get google and yahoo nearly all day every day, if it bothers you a that much log into google webmaster tools and set your crawl rate to slow, this will cut down on server usage.

There is also the backlink and PR update going on so it may me because of that

I see. It's still there now so I will see if I can set it at a slower rate.....when I get time.

Thanks guys.

You are rpobably being deep crawled. On my rugby forum currently I have 26 google bots

Google is watching you

CONSTANTLY lol

Well that's the longest I've seen him on my site and still going.

I think he might be stuck.......

The same thing is happening to my directory, how I wish I should just peg it there...
