Regardless that just means the bot has to run longer Jim.
With a better host, we should be able to effect improved countermeasures against these attacks without compromising the service of the forum.
Then I am in support for a new host. The problem is money and support at this point.
So why not a simple php/euphoria script that disallows more than a few requests a minute per ip, only non-duplicate requests, and only one request at a time? Robsz and Unkmar and i did this in 1999(?) for something we were working on in Euphoria for the internet. We returned a shortened header and 3 words, or less traffic than the simulated attacker would be sending. Or you could just drop the connection.
