Fighting Chinese bot scrapers

Apologies for the interruption to the service the last few days, we’ve been fighting bot scrapers which have been overloading the server with more requests than it can handle – which made the site inaccessible. Fortunately, we have AI too – so this won’t be a problem anymore. We are also going through a major upgrade – should deploy in a couple of weeks, moving from a php based app to node.js – this basically means it will be a lot faster. More to follow.
