Your server will explode if you have [OR] at the end of the last condition before a Rule.

What's that stray *. doing there? Besides giving the server another thing to throw fits about?

Better explain the third rule. It looks alarmingly garbled.

would you believe I got it from here? btw: it's not the whole file. the *. is all the rest in between (DOS man)

You also used it in a similar thread Banned IP Address [webmasterworld.com] five years ago

Are you still challenged by the same solutions as you were attempting to implement five years ago?

Yes I'm challenged, I'm not an experts like all of you. I'm an SEO/Computer Technician/Internet Marketer, so I totally familiar with all the this. Just looking for help is all. Thanks anyway.
