The aff people, that is. I am too, after some time spent in Australia with little access to the internet. Enough to notice my stats, but I had no inclination to actually do anything about them.
Looking at the logs, the aff people went away on December 18 and started sending referrers my way again on December 23. Nothing seems to have changed about what they’re doing, and the explanation put forth by commenters to the original post that it’s likely an attempt to scam the affiliate program of an adult site seems the most likely explanation. I’m still not sure what (if anything) to do about this; if the bandwidth usage becomes excessive I’ll use one of the methods suggested by the commenters to my original post.
In the meantime, I guess I’d better post some more interesting content…
