Altbouncer

[Stam]

Guys you should all check it, there is someone adding hundreds of pages in the altbouncer and am sure this is somehow illegal because the names on alti can't have more than 20 characters and his are sentences!

That's a pretty easy to do exploit. Nothing you can do about it.

This is why we can't have any nice things, whoever is doing this, stop being an ass.

Simple answer: Some people don't have lives. Too bad tec isn't still around so he could just remove that Vapor ID from the database.

Mango, unfortunatelly even if we find tec around this guy have added more than 1 vapor ID and more than 200 pages, so won't be easy. The good thing is that he didn't add anything today!

Here's a json dump of the data as of this morning with all the crap removed:

xa1.uk/altbouncer.json

For anoyone curious, it took just under an hour at 1 req/second to scrape all the data (minus the spam), and about a minute or so to process it all. The final thing is about 11M formatted or 8.5M raw.

About 3700 pages of the 5500 there are spam.

Not only is there spam, there are also many instances where people make a displeasing name and stamp random vaporids to it. I have been victim to that once, and been included in a name spam.
