Great picture!


Well I have been monitoring the web traffic all day from a server log level had noticed that the website gets slammed with various unfriendly bots that are constantly walking the webpages looking for email addresses, site vulnerabilites, etc. So I installed a background module that works to detect and reject that traffic. So what this means is less connections used by that crap, and more connections/bandwidth available for you guys.

If anyone experiences and more of the those "Server 500" errors, then please send me an email or PM telling me what time you got it (ie 8:17pst), and also where you were in the website when it happened. I am hoping rejecting that "bad" traffic will cause these errors to go away. That "bad" traffic was consuming as much as 30% of the connections and website bandwidth. Most of that should now be blocked.

Thanks
