Well done for sorting it out Stuart. It is a damn nuisance having to deal with things like that.

Slurpy Mcdougal Viagrabot is at it again. There must be more to this Stu, it's driving me crackers. As I said above the forum is bordering on unusable. None of the other ones I frequent appear to suffer the same issues over and over again.

[Stuart]

right one more attempt at killing these suckers off..

both the robots.txt file and the site .htaccess file are working now in partnership and all bad bots will be shown the red card and redirected.

Sorry, I have just got it again, a couple of minutes ago. Fortunately when I reloaded it went away.

[GIXERMAN]

mmm getting painful

[Stuart]

we are moving to the cloud if you loose the site delete cache etc

[Stuart]

OK are we winning the battle now ?

[Mike Sanders]

I haven't had a problem for several days. It looks as if the baddies are being defeated.
