The Error says "no more connections allowed"

Looks like there's a bump in traffic. Someone maybe hotlinking out to other forums, or maybe more web crawlers/scrapers?
I noticed this at the bottom of the main page that has the user stats, today (half an hour ago) having most users online.

Yep, something along those lines. It's hard to tell what is going on exactly, there's so much noise in the logs. Traffic seems to originate from Brazil so some sort of bot attack. I've made some changes within CloudFlare to slow it down, it seems to be helping.

Not wanting to be the whinger but...

Might need to eventually dial back the frequency of cloudflare challenges. If I'm off the site for more than about 10 min I get a new captcha challenge.
Don't get me wrong tho - it's defo fixed the bot attack.
