www is important

My Department thinks that web programming is not "academic."  Well I'm surprised all our projects for 435 is somewhat web based.  The www is important I think my department needs to start thinking about this.  CMS uses the web to send information to a web server running apache, GIS is a web based map system, Collapse uses a web portal somehow to interract with some users.  See, I think the web is just important.

so now, i need to protect the forums site by putting a robots.txt into the root directory
