People may have seen more site slowness earlier today.

Alex tells me that there were around 1 million requests a day to the registration page by AI bots.

Most have now been blocked, so things should be OK again until the next time.

WOW! That is a lot of spam to hit the system.

The site just timed out.

One idea I just came up with it that besides IP block banning, why not limit the number of guests?

DDOS doesn't rely on the connections actually succeeding and working as guests. It's the sheer volume of requests to the server that's the problem.

I'm not saying it's a DDOS. It could just be the server being overloaded with too many guests.
