It looks like bots do not have access to any of your forums right now, that's all.

You need to set your bots authorisations so that bots can access your forums, the safer is to provide bots with as much authorisations as guests.

Well, the easiest way to do this would be to set the authorisation for a given forum viewable by guests properly, and when doing so, provide the bot group with the same auths as guests.

Once you'll have set this forum auths, just edit all the over public ones and select to use the auths from this forum.
You'll end up having the same auth for all public forums, which is the way to go, and actually set the auth for just one.
