now they're saying they didn't block googlebot - that in my htaccess were a bunch of foreign IP addresses I had put in there, all IP ranges from Russia and other suspected hacker countries. The site kept getting hacked and that did stop it from happening. So their theory is that Google ended up acquiring and using some of those IP addresses and that's how googlebot got blocked.
