The large amount of child pornography present on 8chan forced Google engineers to publicly delist their site, but crawling bots continued to index in case it was allowed again. Before Ron implemented the OCR bot to weed out the child pornography spam, he made the decision to ban all of Google's IP ranges, effectively blackholing them to the search engine.8chan blacklisted themselved. Seriously, they set up their site so it couldn't be scraped by Google bots after some asinine crap I can't remember.
