Getting slammed by bot traffic

[djensen]

Over the past 24+ hours the forums have been getting slammed by bot traffic. I haven’t investigated which bots but it could be as simple as Google Crawlers and Indexers. It about 14,000 page views per hours which is only 4 requests per second but it’s taxing the servers.

I’m going to upgrade the servers soon so that we have more CPU to handle the requests.

Yeah, it looks like it’s Google.

On the bright side, this means that Google is looking to put on their map…
