I'll take a quick gander now to see if this is something simple and within our control.

Okay I think I found it. There's a spider (with a not so great reputation) crawling the site. I'm going to block it. Will update soon.
Edit:
Cool. I implemented a "soft block" ... basically it can still send a request to the web server, but the web server just says "silly robot, Forbidden go away" rather than actually serving the full request which requires parsing of php code and a bunch of database queries for each request, using up actual resources. Let's see how this goes. If there are still any issues I'll block it at a firewall level.
Please keep me posted. Thanks!

Should be!Originally Posted by Buck
To put it all in perspective, this "network" of bots made 503653 requests to the web server since 4AM this morning
Reviewing the logs, it also occurred to a lesser / shorter degree on February 13.
Thank you guys for reporting this. It's possible it can come back if they're smart and determined, but that is usually not the case. If they do come back I'll do something a little more no-comeback-able.
Shoot me a PM if it does. It makes my email go off which I might see more timely. Sooner I know about it, sooner I might be able to get to it. I'll be mostly around this weekend, but I do sleep like everybody else
Once again, THANK YOU all for the reports.

If we are all equal why do you demand special treatment?
You can not comply your way out of tyranny.
