In an effort to combat spambots we now actively have a rather extensive block list blocking all known IP addresses from the main culprit countries. This will block any access to the site from the various IP's but however could cause problems with proxies if you use them.
The following are the affected countries: Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Romania, Latvia, Estonia, Kazakstan, Moldavia/Moldova, Poland, Serbia, Siberia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, and Germany.
These IPs will constantly be updated but if you have any problems accessing the site please let us know and we'll resolve the issue as soon as possible.
This may seem like a rather ruthless approach to dealing with spam bots however also helps prevent us from being DDoS in addition.
