    the server loads sure have dropped , lol, from 10 to .9
    maybe this is the reason the hard drive went out, was them running hundreds of scripts on us.

    Boy am I sorry for blocking France, but it appears impossible to stop these 2 from running hundreds of scripts using hundreds of IP's, bring us to our knee's.

    rev.poneytelecom.eu
    a.ahrefs.com

    when I ask them to stop I get a get FU** You from them
    Maybe it takes someone from France to get their government to step in

    or is it the French government posin as them?

    Or maybe French government just don't care or has other more important issues enough to care of...

    IIRC, in Europe it is the website owner responsibility to ensure the security of user's personal data, that's why these kind of issues cannot be solved in a simple manner. This plus web-police forces just don't have manpower enough to control everything that happens out there...

    were not the only ones getting a slow down

    read this
    http://www.wsj.com/articles/denial-o...ers-1477056080

    Denial of service attacks occur when someone, or a group of people, floods a particular site or service with large amounts of fake traffic in an attempt to overwhelm the system and take it offline.
