Well there's also the fact that this site is privatley hosted (to whaetver degree) Kn's shed some light on that before, but it's not strictly privately hosted either from what I recall.. If it was.. and the server was poor enough a mass influx of bot users could serve for a DoS attack.. It's just that would mean the one(s) responsible werent very knowledgable at all of their target.. possibly just random people testing a DoS attack and so many other possibilities.
bot users are a problem pretty much everywhere a person can have an account though on the interent so the subject just gets me curious. Russian/Ukrainian bots sure try to pile into this place though for whatever reason..
