Hi all,
I don't know if it is just me, but lately I have had difficulty accessing the forum. It appears that various spiders/bots seem to crawl the site, the site hits its load limit and prevents anyone else from getting on. This seems to be happening more often than I would have expected. If you're also experiencing this, please let me know.
I'm trying to tune the software options to limit the damage the spiders/bots are doing, but it's going to take some time and I'm not even sure it will work.
In the meantime, if you come back in an hour or so you'll typically find the site unwedged.
Sorry for this inconvenience.
