Slow load?

Can you block the IP range?  Or is it distributed?

It's literally all over the map.  I've added an additional bandwidth limiting module, which seems to help, but I still can't leave images up on the wiki for now.  I suppose I could block most international traffic, but that's more work than I'd like too

Even right now, of the ~300 connections to the site, ~200 are trying to grab media off the wiki (they must be sleeping).

I've run my web properties through Cloudflare and it has automagically managed bot traffic for me. Especially since the pages they're hitting are static, something like Cloudflare could deliver a cached version from the edge, rather than requests hitting your servers.

This is actually getting kinda fun.  *Someone* is wasting a lot of resources to try to shut us down.  lol

Clearly somebody has sicked a bot farm on us.  That's cool, I just had to temporarily move the wiki.  It's now at:  wwiki.muscoop.com  Their bots (over 100/second, and about 1 million requests in the past 2 1/2 hours) are currently busy slurping up the honeypots I left at wiki.muscoop.com.
