    I don't know about Robots.txt file or CMS, but this is important to protect your IPB.

    To add extra protection to your IPB forum, password protect the following directories:

    yoursite.com/forum/admin
    yoursite.com/forum/admin/upgrade

    Also, delete the following file: yoursite.com/forum/install/index.php
    OR just password protect the whole install directory: yoursite.com/install/

    If you're looking for extra protection, check out cloudflare.com (They also have hotlink protection - You'll find it in the apps page). It's free.

    Yes, that's exactly what I mean by password protect directories.

    What control panel do you use? (If you have one)
