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?

We could do this in pure euphoria. That would stop the DOS attacks and is a good idea and should be implemented right away.
But it won't stop the 500 errors, for reasons I've already outlined above. (To repeat them, the host has capped the number of processes we can run, so if 101 users want to look at the forum at the same time, one of them will see a 500. Also, there is a user on the host who runs "exu ./eu.cgi" using 100% of cpu which then causes the host to not allow us to start any processes.) So I feel we still need to move to a new host.
