RE: Weird apache logs

This outwar.com thing is an annoying little game, where people get "points"
for getting (tricking) other people into following the link.  This is
probably some kid's attempt at racking up points by relaying the hits
through a proxy (e.g. you) to make it seem like someone else is following
the links.

I'd send a note to the outwar.com folks.

Subject: Weird apache logs



Over the last few days I've noticed a number of weird GET requests in my
apache logs. Has anybody else seen this kind of traffic or have any idea
what's causing it?
