Pet Hatchery and spam

http://www.pethatchery.co.uk is one of our new sites.

The hatchery was live two days when it was hit by a Ukrainian auto-spammer. He got IP-blocked but hasn't taken the hint - he's still visiting every minute even though all he can see of the site is a 403 refuse page.

So after 24 hours, in which serving the fail pages was still using up our bandwidth, we decided we could put him on silent blocking. On the other hand this is a hatchery and meant to get views...

His fail page now has dragon eggs on it. Merry Christmas!
