Time to burn it to the ground?

1,175 referral 
hmm guess we cant burn it just yet
I think if Taos came in at this point and cut us off on that site, we would be able to hold our own, but it surely does help with traffic.
Im glad to see the help docs in the top 5 poplar pages :)
Could we not maintain the referrals by making the whole forum one big "go here" post?
I just moved a multi-threaded timer class from there to snippets here
There's still some good stuff there that others have not yet moved

We should start doing it on individual threads, which will help with bookmarks and such for at least a while. I haven't looked at the Google analytics, but are we able to tell what pages from the old site are acting as referrals? If it's a few big ones, that would suggest that we're in a better spot to burn it down, but if it's lot of little pages then we
definitely want to hold off.
Im not 100% sure if im reading it correctly....... but it looks like the referrals are mainly from the index page (the notification link), and the sticky
http://python-forum.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21033 Although it doesnt look like it gets the end part of the url.
Of course that would make sense, as the only links back here are those links. There are of course the ones from tutorials, but that is about it.
EDIT:
I just remembered our signatures linked here too....so i guess it could be anywhere.
What are people's thoughts on banning the search engines? I bet that helps knock it down :)
