theiving members, major bandwidth!

My eyes almost popped out of my head this morning when I checked my stats, and saw 39 gigs sucked today alone. 5.5 gigs / day is the average for previous days. It appears someone posted a l*/p*. I reissued him a new pass and told him not to share his l*/p* with anyone.

I'll probably end up canning his account, but MAN this pisses me off! I was looking through the stats on the referrers and I couldn't see where the traffic was being taken from. It just appeared as if he was linking directly the l*/p*, and people were hearding right into the site. Only 33 visits that I could see, but those 33 visits were spread evenly across all the pages on my site. I'm imagining most of those people were looking at each image.

I'm hoping changing his password fixes the bandwidth leak. Otherwise I really don't know what to do. I'll be installing Strongbox shortly I guess.

This freaks me out. I can't sleep.
