**BAN ALL IP's that use 'BOTS'!!!

[sea69]

hey

I suggest that ANY IP identified as running a BOT on this site be BANNED for LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

and god help them if I get their IP>... talk about denial of service........hmmmmmmm

this slows down and sometimes STOPS this site from responding, and is MUCH MORE than an inconvienience..... if these people can not PURCHASE the CD, then the HELL with them.

my viewpoint ....................!

hehe Charles.. must feel good to know all your hard work here is finally getting soooooooooo popular that we have MANY individuals that want it ALL... for FREE.......

WELCOME to the land of success... hehe

A premature, excruciatingly painful, gory death to 'bots! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/mad.gif

7:10-7:30 pm CST - Monday 5/15

Internal server errors - '..child processes', '..unable to complete header', etc.

Yup, that was a spider this time. I blocked it and the forums came back up.
Someone someday is going to develop some technology to block those things... I may end up having to write a module for this BBS that keeps track of IP accesses and emails me when somethng funny happens...

8:45PM here and still getting Internal Server Errors half the time when I try to delete double topics. Might do it again on this post. May be someone still at it.

Bot's again? Noon CDT 5-17. Page starts to load, goes to 'Cannot be displayed'.
Back and refresh -- no effect. Might be this end, but no trouble elsewhere.
