just for you, I redeployed the old robots.txt (with an additional log-honeypot). I even manually submitted it to the web archive just now so you have something to look at: https://web.archive.org/web/20241231041718/https://wiki.dias...

they ingested it twice since I deployed it. they still crawl those URLs - and I'm sure they'll continue to do so - as others in that thread have confirmed exactly the same. I'll be traveling for the next couple of days, but I'll check the logs again when I'm back.

of course, I'll still see accessed from them, as most others in this thread do, too, even if they block them via robots.txt. but of course, that won't stop you from continuing to claim that "I lied". which, fine. you do you. luckily for me, there are enough responses from other people running medium-sized web stuffs with exactly the same observations, so I don't really care.

What about the CommonCrawl archives? That clearly show the same robots.txt that allows all, from September through December?

You’re a phony.

    Here's something for the next time you want to "expose" a phony: before linking me to your investigative source, ask for exact date-stamps when I made changes to the robots.txt and what I did, as well as when I blocked IPs. I could have told you those exactly, because all those changes are tracked in a git repo. If you asked me first, I could have answered you with the precise dates, and you would have realized that your whole theory makes absolutely no sense. Of course, that entire approach is mood now, because I'm not an idiot and I know when commoncrawl crawls, so I could easily adjust my response to their crawling dates, and you would of course claim I did.

    So I'll just wear my "certified-phony-by-orangesite-user" badge with pride.

    Take care, anonymous internet user.
