Thankfully it's only slowing the server down, but still, to do this requires some pretty organized activity. I would say its at least 40 people in unison hammering the server with invalid requests. I lease our server from ThePlanet, but I don't pay the extra to go through their DOS prevention fabric, too expensive. This shows though a little of the influence we are having. People are scared of what we are accomplishing. Let it be true that they have seen nothing yet.

"We" being all of us, not my RPFlix.

I have a great server all to myself, not shared, and we'll handle this just fine, and we all have super crazy passwords and a totally up-to-date system, so being hacked is unlikely. Keep us in your prayers though :)

I can PM you ways to block them if you wish. You'd need root access, this method uses an .htaccess file.
