I already have a paid for, legally registered domainname, Greg. Not
currently enabled because the last time it was, it took 150 lines of
Iptables updated almost daily to keep mj12's & bing's godamned bots from
using 200+ gigs a month spidering my site. Using ALL my limited ADSL
upload bandwidth. Screw em and the camel that rode it on them.
The above link is some dips--- MBA trying to make a buck using the if I
don't get caught its legal mentality. You can do this without enriching
these jerks. mj12's bots don't pay any attention to the bot denier
response but tracking bing is easier since they only move to a different
address block to get around iptables lockouts about monthly, mj12
sometimes moves stuff daily. Most of the other bots look at the rules
and follow them.
Take care & stay well Greg.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
