Is there an overload attack against ADISC now?

Yesterday afternoon (UTC+2h) and now I can see that ADISC is unusually slow. Besides the usual number of logged in members (~50), the “Members online” shows 12000+ guests. Is this normal? Or can it be a DDOS type overload attack?

One thing I notice now is the site is lagging to load whichever ADISC site I go to.

Yes, it looks like we got flooded with bots, mostly from Brazil and Vietnam.

I’ve adjusted our settings accordingly.

My one gun site gets hit with over load too. We had over 50k visitors on in one day.
