Spamming

Forums: 

The site was down due to 'too many users' and even the admin was not allowed to log in. Well, this was something like this the first time and it should be shure, we are not too many users. In the last time, I have problems with 'robots' trying to get an account and adding spam in the comments and forum. So I changed the login procedure and added an simple question to find out, if the user is human.

However, in the forum they say, the problem with 'too many users'  will stop after a while. So if the next time this happens, please be pationt. When I'm back from my holiday I will take a closer look to this problem ...

Thank you

So, what I've done is do

So, what I've done is do change to a bigger server at my provider and I removed some modules that are not really used for this catalog.

But there is still too much traffic at this site from different robots ...
