What is happening is that ProBoard forums are being hit with hundreds of thousands of bots, and the worn out old server can't hold up. Is this the work of angry bears, or angry Russians?

What happens when it gets hit by bots and what do bots do? Too many bots all at once overload the system which is why sometimes you might have issues logging in.

What do the bots come here for? Can proboards block them? Bots are automated answers. They pretend to be human but are not. Fake profiles etc. They sometimes are here to get info for identity theft, or are from companies wanting to know your buying habits, or wanting to promote their wares or services. If ProBoards were able to block them they would have already.

This was posted by the proboards admin: Unfortunately we have recently been experiencing DDoS attacks in an attempt to force us to take down a legitimate forum. We won't be capitulating to any sort of terrorist demands on how we run our service. I trust you all can understand and concur as you would not want us to comply if someone demanded we take down your forum.
We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and continue to work to mitigate the issue.
For those that received related posts/threats, please PM me a link to the post in question.Now I will go ask one of my daughters to explain what this means.

For some reason I have been temporarily banned from accessing the ProBoard site. They tell me that I'm being "Rate Limited". I'm guessing that they do not care for my comments about their server on this thread.

I am temporarily banned from accessing the ProBoard home site, not any of the ProBoard forums.
