Thousands of bots attacked the site for the past few days.
I was able to work with GoDaddy to block the IP range of the offending assholes.
Sorry for the headache!

A few things
1) Low disk space, I had some old backups queued to be deleted that didnt That slowed the system down. Fixed.
2) Sent you a Facebook Message to your boss (ha ha) with the exact thread on the phpBB. Several ranges of IPs needed to bee blocked.

We're battling a new wave of these annoying bots and various attacks
If you see we're down - I'm working on it! Other phpBB boards are facing the same challenge.
