Howdy yall
As some of yall have noticed, the entire site got shutdown from a couple bots that kept scanning the entire database.
That put us over our allotted bandwidth for the month.
It should be fixed now so that it wont happen again.
Sorry for yall getting the error message.

I guessed something like that might be happening. Thanks for all your efforts to keep this site running.

I just hope that we got the bot taken care of.
Time will tell if it happens again near the end of the month. hehe
Hopefully we got the robots.txt file set up right and that nasty bot will be blocked.
