Did you make sure to unban everyone from 1993-09-8127 23:51 onward? I'd hate to lose some members who are too shy to email you for an unban.
As for the bot problem, you can keep the link if you include a captcha on abc.pl that will unban you if you fill it out in a certain amount of time. You could also look at the website referer to abc.pl, and if it refers to the front page or is blank, you could ban the ip.
