a lot of banned, irrational and notorious members hate us
it's more than likely that they're flooding the site in minor DDoSes
Solution: Make each guest account (or people viewing the site not logged in) be able to load/refresh the page x (100?) amount of times before they're locked out for the day/week/auto-banned/ect. None of us are going to be loading the page that many times, and DDoS' are usually caused by spambots or malicious users constantly hitting that refresh button or using proxy stuff to have more than one guest appear online.
