DR1 fights off Korean and Chinese spammers

The technical explanation for the slow site and downtime affecting DR1 this past week:
For the past few days you may have noticed DR1 a little slow or inaccessible at times. DR1 and its host has been under a sustained attack, by thousands of automated bots originating from Korean and Chinese spammers. The attack did not specifically target DR1, but a number or sites and hosts in the same IP address block.

We have been working with our hosts and Cloudflare (server security) to get the attack under control and kill off and block the automated bots. Thanks for your patience while we work on getting things back to normal.
