Google got smart and actually has their search engine block worms from searching phpbb forums. Now a new worm is running right now through lycos.nl and is hitting us. I don't even have a log of their webcrawler every touching here.. arg
The 403 blockage I setup a long time ago is hitting around 200 a second right now, so the forums maybe a little lagging for a bit. I'm thinking of renaming viewtopic to something else, as this is another keyword every worm searches. Worked for spammers. |

Heh, that sucks. Where are the worms from?
I would actually block any search engine, but that wouldn't have stopped this.
Want me to send a removal request or anything? |

Yeah MGB, I know you're allowing Google, which is why I said I'd block them all, as I did a while ago too.
I must be the only one who'd hate my website getting indexed. |

Subspace is rare enough that most people don't know this website exists until they are having problems. Also, PHPBB's internal search sucks ass. Really crappy. |

Solo, maybe if you had your site on search engines I would be able to find it, your module tutorial was quality. Then it changed folders every week. _________________

It only changed folders once, then it was taken offline because it was outdated. |
