[QUOTE="Riley, post: 3109604, member: 29196"] Pulled off the /page7b.htm and got to this - [URL]http://stevespages.com/[/URL] Which says this - [SIZE=4]"Stevepages has been under a siege from Iran, attempts in trying to download all of StevesPages. For several reasons due to this, I have taken much of StevesPages offline. 1st, I don't want a militant, hostile to us country/group using StevesPages as a possible resource to repair/restore some old Soviet weapons they may have found 2nd, since I also have lots of training manuals, I don't want them getting that either. Nothing that could be used against our guys with boots on the ground or against any allies we have. So I have implemented several changes. The first things I did to stop the unwanted traffic were things I won't go into. I have also spent almost 20 hours now building firewall "zones" that reach worldwide. Here in the US (mostly) I have also seen massive traffic for sometime that I don't believe was part of this, but kids trying to download the whole site just so they could show their friends "Look at all this cool information I got... I can even fix an Abrams tank track now". Youngsters don't consider that to support the bandwidth required to host StevesPages costs me money! I have not yet decided what approach to this I want to make on a permanent basis as much of this downtime has been putting out the fire and I am just now getting to start thinking about long term security for the previously mentioned reasons. Training manuals may disappear permanently, the site may go to a membership basis allowing me to verify users, or... Please write me with any suggestions of opines on this issue and I will weigh all comments. Many thanks, Chris"[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
