You cannot remove the robots.txt file which is published alongside your Website Tonight project. Additionally, the rules which you are referring to are the default rules which cannot be modified. The only other modification which is supported with Website Tonight actually adds an additional Disallow rule, which is for the /uploads/ path. Directions for making this modification are offered through this article:

You also have the ability to create custom robots meta tags if you wish, but these again only effect your individual pages and do not allow you to override the content of your robots.txt. Directions for adding these custom tags can be found in this article:

Ya, this is absolutely annoying that website tonight blocks images from the search engines. What is the purpose for specifying alt tags on the images if they are just being blocked anyway. You will not find a single image on the search engines that link to my website, even though I am ranking the top four on google 1st page. I would be number one if the images were allowed. Also it is very annoying that FB cannot see my images either.
