I did determine that 5 green boxes is the max, as I have one of my domains which is only 1 green box, the other 4 are white.
Whats odd about the robots.txt validator is that it gives errors, when every other place says it passes fine

User-agent: Slurp
User-agent: Googlebot
User-agent: msnbot
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
User-agent: Adsbot-Google
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
User-agent: Googlebot-Mobile
User-agent: Teoma
User-agent: ia_archiver-web.archive.org
Disallow: /keepout/
Disallow: /goaway/

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

not that complex of a file but for what ever reason, but i get this error...
