In an effort to keep these forums online during an attack, I'm going to require registration in order to read these forums for a while. (hopefully just a couple of weeks)

The attack requests a page over and over which eats up CPU on the server. Requiring a login would mean that his "bots" requesting the home page will just get a login prompt instead of a full page that needs database queries to generate.

I figured this guy would get bored but it's been a couple of weeks now of short-timed little attacks.

Sorry for the inconvenience to those of you who never registered and have to now. Sad

I'm the bawss.
