IAC: Still not stopping "rogue affiliates"

I've got an update on SurfTown coming shortly (still not cleaned their network!!), but in the meantime, a look at what was reported to me as a spammer site, using the same well known fake news site layout, is sending people to SmileyCentral when you click their links - nice to know IAC are still not trying to put a stop to this .... (though perhaps not surprising).

The site, grantsguide.info is housed at (you'll not be surprised to see the ASN involved);

Current IP*: 217.23.5.228
IP PTR: Resolution failed
ASN: 49981 217.23.0.0/20 WORLDSTREAM WorldStream

The IP used to house newmovieswatchnow.com (now hosted by NetDirekt (AS28753) at 217.20.116.177), which sends you either to one of those familiar "survey" (scam) sites at mediaboxrussia.com (109.236.82.121, AS49981 109.236.80.0/20 WORLDSTREAM WorldStream), or to flvpro.com (174.137.179.7 PTR: tigertango.com, AS36057 174.137.176.0/22 WEBAIR-AMS Webair Internet Development Inc), depending on which link you click ("Download" or "Watch Online Now").

The headers for the redirection are;

Update: Yet more connectivity issues

I am happy to report, I've gotten most of the problems sorted out, so most of the resources are now back online. fSpamlist was moved to an external server owned by Josh, to minimize the downtime.

Issues: Yet more connectivity issues

My apologies for the downtime folks.
