*.rubyforge.org sites disappearing from google?

Has anyone noticed that projects with homepages hosted on rubyforge
have disappeared from the google index? When trying to google rspec,
mongrel, mocha, fastercsv, their respective *.rubyforge.org pages fail
to appear in the search results.

This may be just a temporary hiccup, however...

I noticed it for mongrel, certainly, but that was only yesterday.

Probably a cause of this:

I checked with Google's site status tool -- They are being indexed.

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/sitestatus

however, they must be getting buried for some reason.

Yup, let's give it a day or two and see if Google picks them up again
now that I've removed that block. If not, I'll contact them...

FYI, this appears to be cleared up now:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:mongrel.rubyforge.org/

Note to self, don't block Googlebots with iptables!

Yours,
