Botnet attack on the forums

It looks like a network of bots is attempting to bring down our server over the last few days. We are showing over 30,000 "people" online atm.

It did succeed yesterday to keep the server too busy to process the traffic. However today server is doing better after a reboot.

We would love it if this traffic was real, but it's not. It's coming from everywhere.

Someone is paying a lot of money to keep this bot farm going at us. I wonder who it is. Possibly a state actor.

 

I just had a message saying the site was unavailable. Got in through clicking on one of the more specific links. I think it was relationships.
