I was wondering why my submits went down, but the number of accepted sites remained the same

Too much money in it. Plus, the RU government needs it to test out new hacks and launch attacks. Should be up soon under a different name.

FFS if it's not a threat from zombies it's the fear the russians are gonna invade, Better start stock piling weapons next to the chainsaws just incase.

Time to wake up the bot and start deleting links, I'd bet.

And maybe on their way back!

So you might want to setup those IP blocks.

Security firm Trend Micro said that Russian Business Network (RBN) dropped off the internet last Tuesday, and has predicted its emergence in a newly reinvigorated form somewhere in Asia.

All of those bullshit russian submits wer getting to be a pain in the ass. I had to add captcha to my submit page to stop them.
I don't really know if this issue would have slowed the submits on my site, but I'm glad it stopped!

If they do surface again, why can't they be stopped?

And how have they been allowed to get away with it before if it was known about all the crime.
