The money was too good. I got stupid.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yeah, ita, are those the HTTP_REFERER addresses? Not the same as the REMOTE_IP or whatever?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yup, that's it. If by "linked" you mean "clicked through".
And groups.google.com means USENET, effectively.
edit: Yup, referrals, hosts they were at when they came here ...

I blame Shrift.
Hey! What did I do?
If the trolls are finding their way here because of me, then... then... I guess I'll delete all of my websites and go *poof* in a BNF snit of epic proportions!!!

Seriously, though, I can take some links down, but I think Variety has a wider readership than I do. I'm just sayin'.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The trolling has been surprisingly light. Just the two (or two and a half), really. I'm hoping that it's nothing more than 2002 getting its last licks in before we take it out to the back forty to put it out of its misery.

Doubt that.

More interesting would be the IP addresses of the machines used to make the posts. Some web servers log that.

If I only had a brain...
Sorry, Shrift, I was teasing. I really shouldn't, not in these parlous times.

I think we have that info too, but ita doesn't have the time or access to do anything with it right now, that's all.
I think she was quoting referrals from a pre-munged set of stats provided by the hosting company.

Yup. I can open some of the log from the 24th onwards here, but not all. And the IP addresses are unresolved, so it's really not going to be statistically informative.
