Do you mean within 24-72 hours of a robots.txt ban on googlebot this website (webmasterworld.com) was dropped from the Google system?

Yes. Poof! Gone!

If this website was dropped from the Google system how did it impact this website?

I think it gave the admin team a chance to take a quick break and get everything back in order. ;)

From hundreds of thousands of pages to zero in less than 72 hours. We'll never know the real numbers but you can expect them to be staggering. ;)
