Russian vacationers are trapped in Crimea because Ukrainians blew up the bridge. lol

Who vacations in a war zone anyway? Dumbasses.

One of the first forums I posted on was anyoneseenthebridge.com.

You can't make this shit up, folks.

Here's the smartest chick on teh interwebz to explain why we don't want humanoid robots in our homes or caring for our elders.

[Mister Obvious]

Does it change things if the robot doesn't look like a humanoid??

Cuz for me... that aspect of things is totally useless.

[Guest]

Now Colleen's sister is trying to cash in on Colleen's infamy.

[Guest]

That's the point she's making. A robot in human form is useless compared to a robot whose form is suited to the work it does.

TLDR: Alizee says Rachel Ballinger's book is neither funny nor witty, and after hearing a few excerpts, I agree. I'm not watching the rest of that shit. lol

I'm not watching the rest of that shit.

I mean why would I, when Sandra is wearing psychedelic yoga pants and a yellow tank top, giving another chick a back massage?

MO, any idea why Amazon Technologies would be crawling my site with a headless version of Chrome?

I have no idea... but I can tell you they are one of the biggest crawlers out there, relentless. If you figure it out, let me know.

[Guest]

They've only hit the front page and sucked up all the .css, .js, and .png files so far. No threads yet.

[Guest]

Is it a legit crawler or a scraper?

[Guest]

The above IP range isn't the only one they're using. There's also this one:

NetRange: 35.71.64.0 - 35.127.255.255

[Mister Obvious]

I'd assume it's gotta be a scraper, cuz why would Amazon be indexing sites?? They're not a search engine.

Do you have Guest posting enabled??

You should really bulletproof the captcha situation because spammers will start hitting you hard as soon as they find out about you.

[Guest]

Guest posting isn't enabled.

I mean if you're not smart enough to make a throwaway Gmail account for forum trolling, you're probably gonna be too boring to post there anyway. lol

[Mister Obvious]

It's possible to have Guest posting enabled without getting abused by the spammers, but... it does take some finagling with the system. Regardless, disabling Guest posting is probably for the best.

[Guest]

I enabled captcha for registration and after 3 failed login attempts.

It give me choices of different captchas to use. It's set to the MyBB default right now.

[Guest]

I don't know how to enable Guest posting, but I just logged out verified I can't post as a Guest.

[Guest]

I'd assume it's gotta be a scraper, cuz why would Amazon be indexing sites?? They're not a search engine.

I'm gonna ban both of those ranges then.
