Recently one of my friend's website was overloaded by bots which took the forum down which has more than 400K members and at least 3k are online at a time. The poor Forum software could not hold the traffic
The just won't come up until the bots go off... this kept happening for more than a week and from top 500 rank in alexa they came down to 10k in just a week!
And most of all... later on we got the know that all this was down by a 16 year old kid with freeware software from his desktop!
I'm sure many people won't believe me but this is 100% true!
