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.
