Search pages...
2004-05-25
Search is reopened from the main page, but for the moment only to approved posters. I'm going to write a ban routine to control DOS attacks, and if that doesn't work, we'll have to have a registration page for search.

#3  Denial of Service. Somebody set up a bot to hit the search pages over and over. Took me a while to figure what using using up all the CPU cycles. We were down for about 24 hours a few weeks ago.
