Major problems with google crawling

    Okay,

    So my site has a forum so it (usually) gets crawled on a regular basis... in fact google recommended I set the crawling to fast because they were slowing themselves down.

    Well, a couple of days ago I looked and it said that my site hadn't been crawled since april 10th... and furthermore that the sitemap hadn't been downloaded for a week.

    So I have a page that I just put up that is getting 100x the normal hits of my other pages, and I am getting linked from EVERYWHERE.

    So I resubmitted my sitemap and waited... 5 hours later I look again and they finally downloaded it... except 1 problem... it says 0 URL's submitted and 0 pages indexed. So I'm like WTF... and I check google. Okay... I'm still in the search results there.

    Now, I check to see if google accessed the robots.txt... they did... but it's empty, and under status it says "Please check back later."

    I am so confused... does anyone have any idea what's happening?
