I am not sure I know what you mean by a cyber-spider attack. Please enlighten...
Spiders (I call them cyber-spiders for fun) are CGI scripts that search engines use to index sites. They are different than robots in that spiders crawl and index an entire site (crawl the web) and robots just index the index pages.
What I think is happening is our CGI scripts and the Tuesday spider CGI scripts are just overwheleming our server.

RE: Spiders. My question is if that's true then why isn't the text file that they recommend us using not stopping them? I placed the file in several directories above this board as well just to be sure that they wouldn't touch our programs.

That's what I'd like to know. But I found out if you jump through hoops to prove you are the webmaster of the site, Google will stop them for you now. My problem is, what if it is someone other than Google?
Mike is actively searching for a way to block incoming CGI scripts and says we can just sit tight. He's not worried about the server going down again. At least not for now.

RIGHT! I used SoM's link to go stop them and they wanted my first born child! I didn't feel comfortable giving them the info they wanted and didn't appreciate them trying to get me to sign up with them just to stop their damn spiders.
