Thanks for changing the request's per hour too Jeric. Hopefully this will allow for us to hear our requests even if we will not be able to request as many as before.
Hope you find out who is abusing the site with that bot. I agree with Caliburn, can SST really be the only site effected by this. Good luck with this! |

Why the hell do people keep abusing this system. It's just bad for everyone. Lets hope after this things will be a little more under control. _________________ By responding in any way shape or form, you contractually agree that I’m right, and youre wrong. |

Why are there spammers? Why are there aimbots for first person shooters, why are maphacks for strategy games.
Easily answered, people want attention. |

I've checked it out, it is happening to several audiorealm sites out there.
This is from another webcaster:

Are they even listening to the stations, or are they just randomly being an inconvenience to people? Seems really pointless to me.
So are they still hitting the sst site as well? |
