THEY ANNOY THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!!!! I don't know where they're suddenly coming from, I've already had twice as many hits as last month so far and we're only half way through. It's all referral spam, targeting my comments scripts - incl. one file I renamed at least a year ago, so where the fuck did they get it? Why are they hitting me now !?
I've changed the filename again now so they all get 404s and don't affect my bandwidth. They only fuck up my "300 latest visitors" stats now, but that's still enough to piss me off. As far as I can tell there is little else I can do tho other than blocking them via .htaccess (but that will only serve them a 403 instead of a 404 - and for some reason I can't fucking get it to work anyway *ugh*). But just the fact that this is even happening pisses me off so damn much!!!!!!!!!!! I'm having fantasies about torturing the people behind this shit. Seriously.
I read a recent article on WIRED that said 98% of spam on the net can be tracked down to the exact same 10 people. That for some odd reason no-one know who they are. Go Fig huh?

Posted by: stagiaire on Sat November 18, 2006 at 0:35lmao @ no one knows who they are.
I'm very happy for you stagiaire
Posted by: Clarissa on Sat November 18, 2006 at 8:24Seems like Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet found out who they are (well, they got the info from Spamhaus really). The link below goes to an article with photos of five of them, and the gray box to the right lists the names of the top 10 worst spammers.

Kill
No, don't kill. Just let kill.
Posted by: stagiaire on Sat November 18, 2006 at 18:16you think someone's gonna do it?
Posted by: Clarissa on Sat November 18, 2006 at 19:28If they find them one day- probably.
Posted by: stagiaire on Sat November 18, 2006 at 20:33lmao @ the spammer. which one's the cute one? the third pic of the third one in the list?
Posted by: Clarissa on Sat November 18, 2006 at 21:21I think there's only one that looks good. I wouldn't even bake the others as chicken replacements in my oven.
Posted by: stagiaire on Sat November 18, 2006 at 22:27I hate spammers too. Every day i have about 50 spam comments in my wordpress.
Posted by: Dudie on Sat November 18, 2006 at 22:38FIFTY????? Wow. There must be stuff you can do against that on Wordpress, no?
So which one do you find cute stagiaire?
Posted by: Clarissa on Sat November 18, 2006 at 23:36I have a program installed on wordpress which filters the spam out and puts it on some sort of bin and deletes it after a few days. Sometimes one or 2 go through the filter so i have to approve every comment before it gets posted to keep it spamfree.If i switch that of my blog is full of spam again soon i guess :(
Posted by: Dudie on Sun November 19, 2006 at 0:13I don't find them cute at all, but that Leo-type from Russia looks best.
Posted by: stagiaire on Sun November 19, 2006 at 0:25lol ok.
Posted by: Clarissa on Sun November 19, 2006 at 15:39WAM, are you really that desperate? trying to fined beauty in your own worst enemy?
what's new eh?
BTW, I just got back from the ER. I burned half of my neck trying to move a very hot brine to the attic. For the turkey of course.
best part is,
I was thinking of you when I slipped.
Posted by: Kal on Tue November 21, 2006 at 10:02 Is it a very bad burn?
Did you think of me before you slipped (and I'll have to feel guilty) or once you'd started slipping (which would be... worrying)?
PS I wasn't the one who started the cute thing! Still, I don't have a problem saying "that guy's a complete arsehole, but a goodlooking one".
