Recently, S triology update scripts have been constantly having problems displaying. The last two days they seem to have stopped working completely - is there a reason for that, or ... ?

  • Which "update scripts" are you talking about?

  • @Jon Skeet - for example; sof.modos.org/tracker/update/62699

  • Hmm, now it's called "reputation tracker", but for some reason I have it bookmarked as an "update script. Title changed ?

  • @ldigas: It was initially released as "update script" since it was a PHP script in one file. Once I put it in the CodeIgniter framework, I rebranded it as a reputation tracking service. Sep 28, 2009 at 20:46
  • Ah, I see. Unfortunatelly, I don't know anything about this things (PHP, CodeIgniter), but if by any chance you find some time in the future to get it working again, I'd be really grateful. I use it daily, and consider it far superior to the implemented statistics page on the profile pages.

I'm the creator of the service you mention. It appears that modos.org's IP was somehow blacklisted. I sent an email to [email protected] a little while ago and I'm waiting for a response.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

edit: Apparently there were some large requests that my site was pulling down. I've thrown in a limiter - 500 questions, 500 answers, sorted by activity. I may be able to creep this upward once I can get a better sense of how large these requests are. I've sent a reply detailing this, requesting to be unblocked, so now all I can do is wait for a reply.

OK, the block is cleared now that we have

  • user-agent properly set on the requests
  • requests of a reasonable size
  • http compression (gzip) on all requests

If it relies on Yahoo Pipes, it might have something to do with this short twitter exchange:
