Recent forum downtime

And We Are Back!!!!!!!!
Hi guys, sorry the forum has been down for a few days but we had an attack from some nasty bots that caused the server to shut us down .
I have now implemented some extra measures that will hopefully reduce this from happening again but these bots are very clever and it is no guarantee that this will work 100% in fact it is almost certain the forum will get hit again so all i can do is try to reduce the risk with the measures i have put in the background.
We are not the only site/forum getting this at the moment it is affecting a lot of sites around the internet at the moment.
They also latch onto key words so i have had to move some threads into The Sinbin as it is a private forum and only member can see it.
Thanks for your patience.
