That 1x1 bugmenot image...

First of all, I'd like to say that the querystring you have is a very creative way of getting it to reload every time. However, I think bugmenot's probably on a pretty big server, so I doubt constantly reloading a 7.89K image over and over is going to do much damage. However, after browsing for a while it adds up a lot on my end, and that's starting to get annoying. Instead of attempting to DoS them with hits to that image, why don't you request delisting? You should be able to do that here: http://www.bugmenot.com/report.php?url=gendou.com Thanks for taking the time to read. |

I am not attempting to DoS them at all! My goal is to be a big pain in the ass. You see, I have attempted to de-list many many many times. The de-list feature is a facade. The creator of bugment does not care about my troubles at all. Similarly, i do not care how much they have to shell out because they made the mistake of crossing gendou. You see, bugmenot.com uses nearlyfreespeech.net. $ host bugmenot.com bugmenot.com has address 208.48.143.60 bugmenot.com has address 208.48.143.91 bugmenot.com has address 208.48.143.25 $ host 208.48.143.60 60.143.48.208.in-addr.arpa is an alias for 60.143-48-208.nearlyfreespeech.net. 60.143-48-208.nearlyfreespeech.net domain name pointer vhost.phx3.nearlyfreespeech.net.They charge $1 per gb bandwidth. (30 days/month) * (273533 hits/day) * (7.89 kb/hit) / (1024 kb/mb) / (1024 mb/gb) * (1 USD/gb) = about $60 USD/month As for the problem on your end, you can add-block the image. Sorry for the inconvenience.

That's smart thinking. Actually, if you used an iframe you could load an entire page off them, which might be even bigger (if you load their listing of logins for this site in a iframe it's 8.59k (currently) plus all the database transactions that it requires). They might even check their referrer logs and get the point. Actually, when I first noticed the image at the bottom I thought it was a dead pixel on my monitor, since I have an LCD and already have one dead pixel... |
