OK, I have zapped the Scooter bot. He still indexes pages, but I am no longer recording the referering page, so he won't show up in your referer log. Well, he will, but he'll be part of that big first number that is the combinded total of all hits to your page that don't have a referer (which means anyone who just typed in your URL, loaded from a bookmark, the google bot, now the scooter bot, maybe some other web robots too.)
If you change your log view to useragent you can still see how many times the scooter bot hit your page.
Also, I zapped the old scooter bot entries, so this change should be retroactive, and the effects should be immediately apparent.
Please let me know if it seems like it isn't working.
if ($user_agent == 'Scooter/3.3') {
$referer = '';
}
