I know the blame for this could be put in the fact that my bot has no point nosing around on people's galleries, but it doesn't need to be added to the whitelist, there shouldn't be a whitelist on a free gallery to begin with, that is the whole point of my post... I understand a whitelist for a paysite or something that grants exclusive access to some, but you never know exactly who you block, so that makes it never a good idea for a free gallery/add/whatever-you-want-to-call-it...
Switching the option off indeed is smart: IF you're doing free galleries... if you're running a paid service it's different...
Sites can be optimized in so many ways. And it's important too now that google takes speed in consideration. I started loading banners asynchronously for instance, I'll dedicate another post to that some day. But at least thehun doesn't get punished anymore for loading times of banners I'm not hosting myself.
