Try the hack described here:

[url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=4459]Search Engines Optimization (SEO)[/url][/list:u]It won't prevent search engines robots to crawl your calender until the fifthieth millenium, however, but it will prevent your useless blog's pages to be indexed. Usage of a robots.txt file at your root web directory should help you to reduce useless crawling, since a year can be considered as a folder. THat should help you a bit (this robots.txt file is based on mine):

User-agent: *
Disallow: /yourstubfileoranything.php/2006
Disallow: /xmlsrv/*/rdf.*$
Disallow: /xmlsrv/*/rss.$
Disallow: /xmlsrv/*/atom.$
Disallow: /*.avi$
Disallow: /*.mpg$
Disallow: /*.mpeg$
Disallow: /*.mov$
Disallow: /*.rm$

User-Agent: OmniExplorer
User-Agent: larbin
User-Agent: Yandex
User-Agent: Grub.org
User-Agent: Katalog
User-Agent: BaiDuSpider
Disallow: *

User-agent: *
Crawl-delay: 120

Thanks for that - I'd already implmented a robots.txt, and have now blocked the specific IP's that gigabot uses in the htaccess file - that has at least allowed the server to remain online...

For now I've just removed the calendar from the template - and will probably take a look at the code myself over the weekend to see if I can stop it showing the "next month" link into the future. If I succeed I'll post here...

That might solve your problem in a relatively easy way: why not adding a rel="nofollow" attribute to your calendar's a tags?
