RewriteRule .* - [F]

Means that a 403 Forbidden http response will be sent to the browser. If you have a ErrorDocument 403 in your htaccess the surfer will be redirected to this url.

http://www.htaccesstools.com/block-hitbots/ allows you to block or redirect the hitbots or what ever it is. If you do not set a "Redirection URL" hits will just be blocked.

Thanks for the clarification.

I tried that tool and generated a .htaccess file but still some of the sites seem to be able to access my sites.

It generates a htaccess that blocks based on http referer. You can not block ips with this method.

I just added a new tool, Block IPs. Use this if you want to block based on ip instead of http referer.

Try a
deny from (numeric iaddress)

Is that your site? Someone showed this to me a good while back and I always thought it kicked ass since I don't know much of anything about .htaccess

I'm still having trouble combining 2 .htaccess files into one.. I need hotlink protection and hitbot blocking all in one.. When I put all the code into one .htaccess I mess everything up!

Are you clearing your cache prior to checking if they can hotlink?
