  1. I've noticed in the last few days that typing in this site using key words such as "videohelp" or "videohelp.com" that nothing appears in the search for the site, yet when I try Google and other search engines like Yandex the site and forum appear in the results. I thought that my browser or laptop was playing silly buggers but then I used another computer and it's the same with that. Anyone else noticed this?.

    Taking a giant wild guess Baldrick has blocked AWS IP's because of the numerous scrapers coming from that service which inadvertently blocks Duckduckgo since they host there.

    I block all scrapers and bots that are too aggressive. But I will see if I can identify duckduckgo IPs so I don`t block them.

    edit: Found this https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/duckduckbot/ and have removed all blocked IPs. Thanks for reporting this!
