InsectNet forum

Hello

Insectnet.com and the forum has been down today.
Inmotion (our host) told me "It appears that there were a large number of long-running PHP processes coming from your site, and a large amount of traffic coming from various bots.".

I have the feeling AI bots are massively scrolling all online forums to try and "speak" as humans.

I am trying to understand with Inmotion how to prevent these bots from reading the forum and overwhelming our server capacity.

Regards
Olivier

Thank you Olivier sincerely for your devotion to keeping the forum as " trouble-free" system wide as is possible !

The evolution of technology and its undesired side effects make unwavering vigilance necessary.

Thank you for your words !
True that I would have prefered to spend these 3 hours at phone with a tech guy from Inmotion with my family during my holidays...
