• I had a client install this plugin – it created DENIAL OF SERVICE CONDITIONS with both Googlebot and MSN bot. It will consume all the cpu resources on web servers.. We still haven’t tracked down what the problem is but the calendar app has serious issues in it that seem to cause recursive effects with spiders and calls to the system are extremely CPU intensive. Rather than address the design flaws, the publisher suggests updating robots.txt to exclude indexing of their scripts. This is unacceptable. This system is NOT READY FOR PUBLIC USE. It will crash servers and cause your WordPress site to stop working or run extremely slowly. DO NOT USE!

    ADDITIONAL WARNING: You may lose search engine indexing using this plugin. This plugin causes some sort of spider recursion issue that will likely result in both Google and MSN and other search engines REMOVING YOU FROM THEIR INDEX. The developers have a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE. If you don’t believe me, look at your raw server logs… it’s absolutely scary how many queries are coming from search bots that seem to be stuck in endless loops… THIS PLUGIN IS BAD BAD NEWS!
