So I wasn't too far off when I claimed "Aliens"

I KNEW you were going to say that, but I kept quiet to give you the opening.

You owe me one...

I didn't realize we were keeping score.

Pardon me for a few moments while I send out the record to independent analysts. We can expect a full report in several months (What do you expect? They're government analysts)

63,

Webmeup is still at it, and now the "Women's Golf-More Crap Ahead" thread has over 4200 views-most of them, of course, phantom robot ones.

I think in order to maintain the integrity of Ramblermania, you're going to have to somehow put a stop to Webmeup's inept or malicious crawling.

I'm not a computer guy, but I found this link to Webmeup's website that might help: http://webmeup.com/crawler.html

-----------------

On edit: The "More Crap Ahead" thread shot up another 100 views in less than half an hour, to 4320+, as of 9:09 a.m.

4400+ @ 10:15 a.m.
4500+ @ 11:15 a.m.

Dow Jones UP 69 points to 14,845

More Crap Ahead holding steady at 4685 @ 3:50 p.m.

Gold down $2.92 to $1417.10

Analysts at the Minsk Message Board Futures Exchange predict "More Crap Ahead" (MCRAPA) will reach 10,000 Views before Labor Day, and are advising their clients to BUY.

Thursday, 8/29:

MCRAPA passes the psychological 5000 mark.

Maybe we need to fight fire with fire...If those Evil Belorussian Crawler Bots think they can mess with Ramblermania, think again.

Wait till we unleash our secret weapon:


RoBo Rambler

First the good news.

It looks like the threat of unleashing RoBo Rambler has been enough to lift the Russian Siege on Ramblermaniagrad-for the time being at least.

View numbers for the new threads are back to their normal (read: anemic) levels.

Now the disturbing news. I've noticed when I go to other websites that Google ads for Webmeup are now appearing with alarming frequency. I don't know exactly what this signifies, but it gives me the creepy sense that Webmeup is stalking me.

What are they up to now?

Belated props for this GIF and bot name. +1 to you, sir.

Thanks!

I was also thinking of going with:

CRAWLER BROT

and using this animated gif:



but I didn't want to offend Brot, even though I 'd be just funnin' him...

More fallout from the webmeup incursion.

Ramblermania's newest member, Boblida, is from the Ukraine: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1929 . Really.


Добро пожаловать, Boblida!

Hahaha
