Hello Mr Mueller,
The forum.openoffice.org is our support Forum. When people have issues
they are often directed to this page for solutions.
Do you have a list of URLs googlebot has not able to crawl? We can then
check if the behavior is intended or not and we can tell you the reason
for this measurement.
I am not particular skilled in google search engine. I do not understand
the sentence:
This will cause those pages to drop out of Google's search results,
and will prevent new pages from being picked up for Search.
Can you explain this in an example please?
Thanks for the support.
All the best
Peter

Dear webmaster of forum.openoffice.org <http://forum.openoffice.org>
I'm an analyst at Google in Switzerland. We wanted to bring your
attention to a critical issue with your website, and how it's
available for Google's web search.
In particular, Googlebot has been unable to crawl URLs from
https://forum.openoffice.org/ . This will cause those pages to drop
out of Google's search results, and will prevent new pages from being
picked up for Search. If you're not aware of this issue, you may be
accidentally blocking these pages from Google Search due to a server
issue. If you need to block Googlebot from crawling pages on your
website, we'd recommend using the robots.txt file instead.
Should you need to recognize IP addresses of Googlebot requests, you
can use a reverse IP lookup to do so:

Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly. For
verification purposes, we are sending a copy of this message to your
site's Search Console account.
Thank you,
John Mueller (joh...@google.com <mailto:joh...@google.com>)
