Pulling Free Sites - Might Wanna Check This

[RawAlex]

I am giving it a few more days considering I am not completely done myself. I am at this point pulling only what shows as 302/404.

HOWEVER, I have noticed a few people pulling only the galleries and leaving the index / inside pages up. This is complete total nuclear option ban for this. Your misleading me, my bot, and my surfers.

Yep - thats I guess the point I wanted to make - is that right now its getting back to operations as normal - which in the past has always meant pulling everything on the domain - so if you are still pulling sites - its probably not the best thing to do without at least posting here

Alex - Im getting really frustrated by the number of people doing that - and the worst is the ones that are redirecting to paysites when you click the gallery links - permanent ban here

We, at Debauchery, are sticking to business as usual. We're still accepting submissions (and still behind on our reviews ). We are checking a bit more often right now for redirects, pulled sites, errors and such, but we still give submitters the benefit of the doubt in that we will re-check the next day before we pull the links to sites that are down.

Just a thought - Greenie and others - it would probably be good if we publish a cut-off date after which we will go back to the entire domains/submitter removals - that way everyone can be expecting the same thing - and to get us started - I propose we start this weekend - say Sunday?

Just a more general question about 404s. What happens if my server temporarily goes down for say 24hrs and you bot happens to check at that time. Would you then pull all my sites - or does your bot check back a day later or something?

I do a 3 day cycle on my link checker. You have to be down for 3 consecutive days before I pull your sites.

Sunday works for me.

I'll go along with whatever the rest think is good.

neveremail - I think that most pull the sites if they find them 404 - I know I had 30 sites pulled from LOR one time when my server was down for about 8 hours

Thats a pain - so you have continuous uptime for a year - drop for a few hours one day and find your sites removed. Thats a bit of a bastard indeed.
