Hi everyone, sorry I have been off the site for a while. No excuse and I will do my best to be around more.
Apologies it took me a day to get everything figured out. There is still some work to do and I am the B- team at best. Cheers all, have missed this site.

What sort of happened is that we had a bunch of bots descend on the site and execute a bunch of batch searches of the user list, as well as the posts.
These things get more and more sophisticated so it's not just a matter of blocking their IPs. I made some changes to one of the config files that discards blanket wildcard searches (more specifically throws a 403 Forbidden error). This lets the search die before it hits the CPU resources of our shared hosting environment (why they throttled us). In addition to this, we were allowing users that were "waiting for email confirmation" to search the site. These requests will now get discarded by vBulletin before it hits the CPU (403 again). The down side for now is that the "New Posts" button is broken. I wll see if I can trap this specific activity and keep allowing it without exposing ourselves to risk. I will keep some tabs on the site in the next several days to make sure I'm as smart as I think I am. Cheers, Lord help our Colts, Pez

It's unbelievable how cool it feels to click on this link and see it instantaneously come to view. In the short time it was wanky, I'd gotten used to it and it will take a few days at least to get over this feeling. Welcome back, you've been missed.

Thank you Pez and crew. Good to be back and to share the misery of my miserable team with others.
