Anyone else been locked out for the last few days?

Post by Iodo »

For the last few days I have been getting a message saying "Server traffic has reached upper limit" - or something to that effect and I haven't been able to get of the forum, I just wondered if it was only me or if it effected other folk?
Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.
Aragorn: It's the beards.

Yes, it was downstream of turning off the spamhaus plugin. We got hit with a crippling amount of bot traffic and burned through the quota in a couple hours.Thankfully it happened at the end of the year!

I assume since we're back up Jack has reenabled the plugin.

I did wonder if that was the reason, thanks for the info :P
