I have been told that it could be because of the seeking machines. But why are the seeking machines not on the first forum? - Does anyone know what to do?
This account was hacked by that very honest guy, Image. Better take care with your personal data, if you register to his forums or he will hack into your account here, as well.
Eventually the search engines will reach the other forum. You can add META tags so that robots shouldn´t search your forum, but it doesn´t work 100% anyway.

If you want to block the search robots, wii's advise will help. You could also use the MOD IP ban, I suppose. The MOD Active Users with the Spider Add-On will help you identify the search robots and see their IP adresses.
On the other hand, if you want the search robots to find your other site quickly, you could add some links to it from your other forum.
