While it may not be noticeable, I’ve actively been back at work cleaning up quite a bit of the content appearing on the KICKRSS user pages. There were a lot ( like in the thousands) of accounts that were not currently active. There were also quite a few accounts that were putting a serious strain on the server. On top of that, there were accounts that were linking to inappropriate content, which led to a ban on one of the sites sources of revenue. Was definitely time to clean up the database.

I have been running some queries, and pulling dead RSS feeds from the daily polling of new content. I’ve also been browsing through user accounts to see if there’s any obvious abuse going on. Would love to keep the RSS feed service available for those that are using it, as long as the service doesn’t get abused. If that becomes the case again, I may just pull the plug on the current site, and relaunch something entirely different.

So don’t expect anything too extraordinary taking place over the next month, but hopefully the regular cleaning activity is going to get me motivated to reestablish the site as an active member of the RSS feed community.

Cheers!
