Over the last few days this forum like many others have been hit by various BOTs that keep requesting too many connections and causing the server to become unresponsive, I've changed a few things such as guests can't read the forum and banning a range of IP's IF this works i'll then allow guests to read the forum, just got to be patient.
ALL REGISTERED USERS - will have to log back in as i had to purge all sessions.
Thanks for understanding
