Hi everyone,
I have decided to block some IP ranges too:
198.105.45.*
64.61.48.*
68.95.158.*
67.167.94.*
24.164.123.*
71.145.203.*
75.14.40.*
74.244.92.*
75.7.196.*
76.186.93.*
Each of those IP ranges generated over a million requests since December, 6th to today.
Many of those IP are mapped to sbcglobal.net - I can't exclude blocking the access to sbcglobal.net altogether for the next 15 days.
In March, when my upstream traffic counter will be reset, I'll consider re-enabling those ip ranges.
In the meantime, you can look in the search engines for some other phpGrabComics servers.
There are not many around - but I could find this one. Not sure of how many of the comics would work, because it's a quite old version of phpGrabComics. If you are running a phpGrabComics server, please share your link...
