Two questions for the devs or anyone who knows:

1) If I set "Bypass Users" to "Yes" and "Join Date" to 0, does that mean it will bypass all registered users?

2) For "Operating Mode", is normal mode "Yes" or is strict mode "Yes"?

I'll report on traffic and affiliate revenue in a week or so.

Week to week, affiliate revenue was about the same. Most other stats were similar or down slightly. Overall data transfer was down 15% or so, presumably a benefit of bad behavior.

I double checked the syntax of the whitelist.ini file and it seems OK. Is it typical to go for a couple days with no rejections logged? I did verify that logging was set to YES.

I am still having this issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch and it began logging again, about 10 entries in a minute or two. Most were Amazon affiliate bot. A couple were forum runner that I hadn't noted before.

I again edited the whitelist.ini and it no longer logs anything. I can't believe no other bots are coming to the site. I did notice that when I first opened the whitelist file it appeared in notepad without line breaks. After the edit, it appeared with line breaks where I would have expected to see them. Other than that, it seems correct. I'm not sure why else editing the whitelist file would cause logging to stop. I'm guessing it is still rejecting evil clients, because my data transfer stats were consistently 10-20% lower.

Sorry for being such a noob. I just can't figure out why it has this behavior. It's probably something obvious I'm just not seeing it. My whitelist file is attached in case it's a simple case of syntax somewhere maybe someone will spot the error.

I added forumrunner URLs as listed to be safe. The one that showed up in my logs was Forum runner for Android at the request.php URL.
