It really isn't funny, considering how hard it's been on me trying to find employment, and now, in order to keep doing it, I'm probably going to have to spend more money to upgrade my service for more bandwidth a month.
by getting enough hits to eat all your bandwidth maybe someone in there is your chance at employment?
I'd assume that reporting it whenever we stumbled onto it is a bad idea...
Have you tried contacting the people behind stumble upon to get it removed?
Hello Alex,
Thanks very much for writing in.

its silly to be angry when the public goes to your publicly available site.
But this is like a radio station telling people about a little corner store, and then hundreds of people flood through your store but don't buy anything, causing your actual customers to drop because they can't be bothered to fight the crowd. Yeah, it's publicly accessible, but that doesn't mean you want hundreds of random gawkers that don't give a crap about what you are selling.its silly to be angry when the public goes to your publicly available site.
