This site has been manually penalized by google with a google pagerank penalty also known as the google bitchslapping. That's what I call bad karma... I guess they are taking it well considering the site icon change they are making. Moving from big "G" to small "g" is a respectable admission that they do have guts instead of Guts. I respect this act of sincerity and will not push that issue any further
I hate spammers! Have I mentioned that? Let's say it again: I HATE SPAMMERS.
This site has been bombed with malicious stuff constantly the counter at the bottom shows 124 worm attacks in just 1 month and I've just deleted about 3000 spam comments from the download area. Traffic leaching by several brasilian sites have been the reason for problems in the downloads and such.
As of today I've cut off link posting in the comments the hard way. period.
I've found out that a large part of this spam comes from china. I hope the comming year will bring a huge flood in the sinai region and all that bad karma bastards get drown. Same for the brasilian download sites that try to leech bandwidth.
Some users of the site have had problems downloading files from the download section during the past 2 weeks. This was due the fact that I did impose some rules for access on the files in the download section. These rules were not designed to prevent users from downloading software from the site, but were set to prevent hot-linking by some nasty software portals which linked directly to downloads without authorisation.
This might have affected some users with untypical browser configurations, for which I'm sorry. I've made some improvements to the rules today and hopefully there will be less trouble of that kind.
