=_= just trying to help

Nevertheless, i'm still creeped out.
Nein, Mann! Nicht troll Mark oder du wirst gebannt!
Ich will noch nicht gehen

The site has been super slow for the past week.

Any way to fix this?
Aside from the slowdown, i keep getting a lot of page errors and misloads as well.
SQL 1040 Too many connections?

Same. The troubles only came since we were down for a bit, maybe this is because we were switched to a different server this time?
I'm not too sure, but could this be related to the stupid amount of bots we have been getting? I don't know, since they like still technically log in and stay ol etc?

Yes, it's most probably related to that. The bots are coming in in full-force, so the server is literally getting slammed with requests. It's like a mini-DDoS attack.
Options: buy more server space, or find a way to fix it for free (through bans, complicated rerouting schemes, and such).
Still researching on the second option, because it's free.

damn. Okay, I'll just up my efforts in banning then.
If you guys need another hand to help, lend me a banhammer.

You could borrow Jin's. He still hasn't used it. It's still pretty shiny up to now.

quoted for epic truth.
I'm actually stupefied on how these bots get in without much resistance. Are there like, any other methods that can be implemented for this?
