I'm monitoring to see what performance/catch ratio is. I don't really think it is doing anything except blocking some Exobot. I'm pretty sure someone exploited the site to tx a bunch of crap. I can't find anything in the logs/traffic that point to what it was. There also aren't any exploits that I can find. But I rebooted and that can wipe out those records. I was doing 99Mbps almost constantly before the reboot. now it's back down to the average which is around 7Mbps.
about time rev...this forum has gone to shit since all of the anon's have been posting. while i understand it has been a norm 'round these parts, it has been out of control for the past year, to the point that none of the regulars post here anymore. maybe it's because a lot of us are getting older and just don't have the time, but you'd be ignorant to at least consider that all of the anon didn't have something to do with it as well.
