Mazingo is now one level deep
Posted by Jason Dunn in "UPDATE" @ 11:01 AM
Some of you Mazingo subscribers may have noticed that your "full" channels no longer give you direct access to the forums. I changed the spidering level to zero, so it hits the opening page only. We're having some problems with spidering clients like Mazingo and AvantGo, specifically as they relate to our ad server. On the 9th the forum root page was hit 35,000 times alone, yet the ad server only dished up the Crucial ad in the discussion forum about 11,000 times. I have to get a handle on why this is happening, and keeping Mazingo and AvantGo contained to the front page will help me to do that. If you have a custom channel set up for AvantGo or Mazingo, please do me a favour and change it to a spidering depth of "zero". It's not like you can read the forums now anyway.
