Overunity.com is coming unglued

[bastonia]

I've been getting this error when accessing threads ... it's completely random.

User 'hartiberlin1' has exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 70000)
/mounted-storage/home4/sub002/sc11940-GNVW/overunity/Sources/Load.php
1971

hope this helps find the problem.

 I though it was my comp or isp

I get the same thing as bastonia.

I seems your site is receiving more than 70,000 quiries per hour (talk about overunity) as per your ISP setting of max_questions under your sole username of hartiberlin1. Ask your ISP to increase max_usernames to 3 and use hartiberlin1, hartiberlin2 and hartiberlin3. There are a few other things you would have to do as explained on this page I found through goog...

The 10 posts limit is not helping either. What a bummer.

Someone is definitely bombarding your site with requests.
I think you should ban users one by one until you find the culprit by process of elimination. The cause of this board outways the rights of any one person to use it or abuse it.

I'm also a seasoned lan/wan Admin, and I don't know of ANY ISP that would not have their "livelyhood" "Protected" in some way.
Either Someone is Lazy over there Stephan, or you may have just talked to the wrong person.
My guess is:icmp flood, oversized packets or runts / fragments from a source that's "bouncing" through a few unsuspecting public subnets to cover the tracks.
I'd call over to the ISP Stephan, and try to get someone else on the phone that Wants to help, or knows what they are doing.

Best luck sir,
