Subject: Deployed Anubis to help with bot abuse

I wanted to make sure I let everyone know about a change introduced=20
today to LinkTaco. We deployed Anubis to help stop the AI bot scrapers=20
that are constantly hitting the service.

I wrote a blog post[0] about this. If you remember, two weeks ago I=20
wrote a post[1] to this list about a code change I pushed also to combat=20
the scrapers. I hope to revert that change in the future if Anubis turns=20
out to be a good solution for us.

Just a heads up. As always please let us know if you notice any issues.

Thanks,

Peter
