Seriously ff.net needs to get their bleeding act together. First I couldn't edit my stories (thanks to the person who posted that fix) and now I can't search for a fic! Seriously?!?! This is messed up.

These folks needs to get on it and fix their junk. UGH.

Of all the bots, I don't mind the crawlers from search engines. They may be plentiful and mighty (lord god does Google love their crawlers - hardly a day when by that we didn't see a few dozen of them).

But it what we dubbed the 'attack' bots that usually had Asian ISP's that would hit with anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand at a time that were a problem. You could bet if they caused a problem, they were virus loaded and you were going to have to pick that shit out of your database. Lord knows how many users you had online when they attacked. The worst ones are the ones that are smart enough to make it through the registration process of site. You can those are coming inbound with a virus and they will rain havoc in moments flat.

A site with as much virtual real estate as FF.net...well I hate to imagine what their logs look like. (The thought of Facebooks and YouTube's give me the hives).

No doubt. Someone around there hasn't got a clue! how to install new anything to the site because you're so correct. EVERY time they go to make any kind of change to the site, they break something in return. I'm not saying I was much better. I crashed my site more times than I care to admit doing upgrades but never on a long-term basis. It was always fixed within a few hours.
