Eugene Blagodarny not dropped by ESThost

Update

Today (May 14), I get this 403 error message when I try to access that site:

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /cgi-bin/index.pl on this server.

But when I processed spam entered since last night, I found more IP addresses on ESThost than I’d seen before. He’s still there.

Brian McWilliams noticed that Eugene Blagodarny’s advanced-submitter.com has been dropped due to spam. Check it out yourself. Complete with typo.

I had wondered why there was no fresh spam from Eugene today. I’d started wondering about it, and checking his hosts was next on my to do list.

So, checking…

Sadly, they haven’t nuked all his other sites. Which means they haven’t removed his server, only the site. It’s even possible he nuked it himself to try and throw off the spam fighters.

Hmmm….

The submitter site is still in the zone, and on the same server. They’ve only replaced the index page. And when I check for other pages (Google), then they’re actually there. So the site hasn’t been dropped due to spam. Someone just slapped a new index page on there.

So, I guess it’s time to complain - again.

Heh! Brian noticed none of the ordering links work!
