Well I have been humbled.
Over the last few months CIRCLEKF has been picked apart by having key elements of the site being deleted.
The entire site is driven by tables in an online database. These tables totally control what the website displays and provide the links to everything that is being shared with you all. Most all of the security is based on your user logins, as my vision is to allow everyone to add content to the site in the long term this online update ability is part of the design. The site has only a handful of actual webpages which display all the information.
Some of the things being delete from CIRCLEKF were restricted to be only maintainable by me. I thought someone was using my password to destroy the site. Who would want to destroy a Kaiser Frazer Website??
Silly me ... I thought it must have been one of you ... NO - it was web robots from Google and MSN. These robots search the web looking for content so they can provide everyone with those fantastic search capabilities. But when they found my pages that maintains USERS and start executing DELETE actions, they have removed all but 30 of you who have created profiles. When they find the page that maintains the KFW Models and execute DELETE actions they removed 80 percent of the models.
In the month of May web robots hit CIRCLEKF 284,511 times and downloaded 12 GB of content. Pretty amazing if you think about it. I am now capturing the IP Addresses of anyone accessing the update programs and blocking them from doing additional damage.
If you have had your user name delete feel free to re-register. As a guest you can not get access to the KFOCI Department and/or access the Suggestion box ... which was totally emptied by the ROBOTS.
Sorry for boring you all with this ramble but thought you might have wondered why new content additions to the site have been slowing down. If you find something that looks wrong or incorrect do send me an email and let me know so I can fix it.
Travel On,
Jim
