We have a server not responding at all at the moment, there's nothing we can do about it remotely, so we're waiting for our ISP to reboot it for us. Until then, we had to take it out of the server rotation, so pages are going to be slower as the other servers try to pick up the extra load.

Should start speeding up, we got the server back online but replication is quite backed up.

hrm, adding more connections to our max connection list makes somebody in oklahoma city smash the crap out of our site, up to 76 connections at once now, overloading our bandwidth downloading a crapload of pictures. Someone's set their browser to "annihilate"

For example, WoW item lists all have little icons... if you try to download 75 of those at once ....

Wouldn't have anything to do (would it?) with issues like certain other sites (I forget which ones have been mentioned in the past) as having linked directly to images from your database here?

    not really, as far as I can tell. What trashes us is people who abuse our site directly through various methods
