Server Hammering


Oops!

Last week I updated AGameAWeek's overall look, and the server's getting absolutely pissing hammered by 100 search bots, all trying to re-cache the entire sodding thing.
I've added robots.txt slowdown rules, but there's so many of the things that it's not really helping all that much.
If you're currently experiencing slowdown, that'll be why.
Thankfully the searchbots are only accessing the basic page data, and not all the accompanying image files. They must be intelligent enough to realise they've already cached those.

Bloomin' things.

Sorry for any slowdown. Normal service should hopefully resume in a day or two.

Aye, I think there's more than the usual amount of bots doing the rounds. We've had a couple of load spikes at work also of late, which isn't much fun.
