I'm sorry my friends, Madchester Rave On will be closed again on temporarily period. Starting on Saturday or Sunday blog will be closed for public viewing, but i hope problem will be solved and i will be back after few days or one week.
Last few weeks i'm receiving some worrying stats on my blog. Every day i have few thousands views from IP addresses from these three countries: Singapore, Hong Kong and Mexico. Also hundreds clicks from suspicious sites and pages.
If you are the person who is using VPN and connecting on my site from these three countries, please remove my blog address from your bookmarks. It's possible that you have problems with your browser and without your knowing, it's connecting on my blog all day long.
I had this problem few times before and closing blog worked very well to get rid of it.
See you soon
UPDATE (09.09.2025)
Unfortunately, in the last few days, after i re-opened blog, same old problems, thousands connections from same ip address, security of this blog is at high risk and i'm afraid that i will be forced to close blog for longer period, maybe few weeks or months. It will be available only for the users who are on my private list.
Every day i'm receiving few thousands connections from someone with IP address from US, also hundreds clicks from these reffering sites: Behance, Cloudflare, Oracle, Capcom, Kayak, Supercell, Healthline, Pexels, Arxiv, Lazada, Nvidia, Skillshare, Lenovo, Mayoclinic, etc.
I think that this person have some spyware or malware in his browser (Chrome) that causing these problems on my blog. Same is on my other blog Higher Than The Sun, that i also closed for few days.
I will wait for few days and if situation is not better, i'm closing this blog on Monday.
