Discussion Forum Down for 12 Hours Today

This discussion forum went down shortly after 8 a.m. Eastern, and was restored around 8 p.m.  

It seems my Blog was bombarded by attempts to log into my admin account.  The this barrage of attempts caused to to exceed the allocation of resources allocated to me by my web host.  Which essentially brought down anything that uses a database, my Blog, large sections of the site and of course this discussion forum.

It really never ends.  A bunch of IP address were blocked and I installed a plugin on my wordpress blog called wordfence.  Basically it will block any IP address that attempts multiple failed login's.  This should prevent this problem from reoccurring.  If you use the Wordpress CMS I encourage you to install Wordfence too.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
