hey smart people! .htaccess/hitbot question - GoFuckYourself.com

Ok, I just caught a fuckup hitbotting a site of mine (dipshit brought the same fucking proxy in with different browser languages within 10 seconds) So I went ahead and started redirecting his hitbot traffic right back to his ass thru htaccess.

Now, after I thought about this for a couple seconds I'm just wondering if the hitbot is going to get redirected with my site as a referer and start clicking around his site making him think im sending all this productive traffic?

Not that I care but it would bring a smile to my face thinking theres a chance this cocksucker will see that and turn up the hitbot even more, only to get more returned, and turn up the hitbot more...endless pointless cycle.. lol

anyone have a clue?

I don't think I would care

It depends on how you're doing the redirect. If it's via the browser then, yes, it will have your site as the referrer.

As a test you can throw your own IP into .htaccess and redirect to one of your own sites and grep the logs.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
