And no more than 4 hours if you just used the stock VB image verification routine.

How long has GFY search been down again total?

This really isn't Lens's fault here at all... I'm guessing he plays the role more of an organizer and project leader here. But I assume he has some tech guys hired that should have came up with these solutions LOOOOOOOOONG ago.

If I were Lens I would be one pissed off CEO - and not at NotJoe or other people spidering.
You make the assumption that some sort of block is wanted in the search area. You are assuming that someone is incapable of doing that.

Let me ask you this. If it were your site, would you want the functionality dictated to you by 1% of the people that use your site?

Why would Lensman put an image verification system in front of search that impacts 99% of the legitimate people that use search? I?m sure no one is going to to get upset about that.

The key to a successful GFY is to be accountable for the functionality and take care of the people that make site great. Users shouldn?t have to change the way they interact with the site. Apply your same logic to google.
