In a quest to have context index on Google I opened robot.exe and saw a file that looked like this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /images/
Disallow: /includes/
Disallow: /blocks/
Disallow: /modules/
Not knowing what I was doing I changed robot to include some of the pages inside of /modules/
User-agent: *
Disallow: /images/
Disallow: /includes/
Disallow: /blocks/
Disallow: /modules/forum/
Disallow: /modules/ect/
(Please note, I’m not even sure if this has anything to do with Google dropping my site after one day)
Now, Last night I came back to the ‘statistics’ page and I noticed that not a single person was referred from Google. I check a long list of keys words I used the previous day on Google and saw my site never came up as a result. Google was no longer pointing to my site. This is not only on Google but AOL, MSN, Yahoo, and Netscape all search results pointing to my site are gone.
Why is this? I have searched the web for more than 4+ hours and I can not find an answer. My best guess so far is I see DMOZ.org is down and I wonder if this has something to do with my site vanishing.
Please any support will be most helpful.

That's longer than this thread may last. :) Url drops are a no-no here.
In most cases, it pays off to read the TOS [webmasterworld.com].
Pendanticist.
your site was prob indexed by freshbot and will most likely be IN fully and properly by the next update
Going with the everflux idea, After i noticed my site being gone didn't quite know what to do so I submited my url again. Do you think this is going ot hurt things?
You'll find a lot of information about finding your way around WebmasterWorld in the thread above.
There's some useful informaton about robots in this thread [webmasterworld.com] and Brett's info here. [searchengineworld.com]
The others have mentioned the everflux and this is most likely the issue with your site.
