Because newser isn't always better
This is a discussion on 2 strange OV Members within the OldVersion.com forums, part of the OldVersion.com category; What's up with these two members which permanently appear in the "Currently Active Users" list since many hours, departure+ saginaw? ...

Well, must be some new technique to get their sites referenced faster :/
They certainly stay active by refreshing the page regularly, so their profiles appear even if they don't post etc... guess something should be done about that ^^

It's probably a "bot" constantly refreshing....
I put the URL in my restricted zone and checked out the site. It puports to be an "AdultWikiResource". It has lots of porn phrases, but the paragraphs are so poorly constructed that it doesn't make any sense. Since they'll never make it as a porn site, I think that the "dirty" keywords & phrases are just bait. I suspect a darker agenda. IF I were a moderator or an administrator on this forum. I'd ban both accounts, block their IP addresses (or if necessary the entire IP block(s)). If that didn't work of if they came back, I'd get creative. Last edited by Pete; 08-08-2007 at 05:06 PM. |

The 2 accounts are from the same IP address. As for banning them simply due to their constant presence. I see far more web crawlers from Google, Yahoo than from this 1 IP. As I type this there are about 250 web crawlers.
Apparently username "buddha* can also be added to the list. Last edited by locustfurnace; 08-11-2007 at 11:15 AM. |
