RSS working?

[arcteryx]

Woody,

I havent received any RSS feeds for a few days. Here are a couple I use https://forum.ih8mud.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=22
https://forum.ih8mud.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=121


I did just try classifieds https://forum.ih8mud.com/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=4 and no results came back.

I use google reader. Has the structure changed? Or anyone else having this problem?

Unfortunately, a forum 'scraper' was discovered...effectively, some hacker website pulling content into their own forum and claiming as their own original content, complete with pre-dating threads to make it look newer/original...'MUD has not yet been targeted, but adjustments had to be made to control RSS feeds and ensure the site didn't become a target.

The site under investigation stated that RSS feeds were used.

Legal action has been taken. Such fun.

HMMMM, on Feb 19th I found this the4x4blog.com the4x4Blog.com I thought about PMing you to alert you to this. Was this the site? You dont have to say if it would impact legal. I think some came from Mud because some of those I posted only in mud, especially the one where I state the best way to contact me is my email which is in yellow. If it isnt the site, you may want to watch that one.

When are you leaving this week(I assume you are coming to Roundup)? Look forward to seeing you again.

Leaving Monday I think...bit unsure...have an eMeeting with Google on the 13th I think, so stopping for a bit then...

only 1400 miles, so an easy drive...

nice part out list...could use a drivers side mirror...mechanical guts and glass...mine is cracked inside past repair

Don't forget the cheese curds!

Oh, sucks about the RSS feeds.

I just sold my last DS this weekend. Drive safe and see you later this week!

So essentially RSS feeds are disabled for some period of time?

 

[arcteryx]

Looks like you reenabled them? Thanks. Hope you can keep the scrapers away.
