Seems like Scroogle is down again, this time it might be for good. :(
Realize this is from rylek's 2010 post and have not seen anything listed later, but just asking if others are using this too and experiencing recent blocking? Have been using this for sometime and now, in the last week, this is what comes up and never works, even after the 10 minute prescribed wait.
Tried to cut and paste what it says but now it does not even load. It has been saying something like Sorry, Google is blocking...try again in 10 minutes.

I ran into this a few weeks ago. But it started working after about ten minutes. The message said something about Google considering their manual search request submissions as bots and blocked them because it goes against their Terms of Service. But they claimed that Scroogle wasn't violating the TOS by using automated submissions, and complained that Google hates Scroogle and wants to make problems, etc.
