 This evening the community forums at Mambers.com were flooded by a user called 'messages'. The user managed to insert more than 4,000 useless posts into the database into just one hour. Although the server had to handle a tremendous http and mysql traffic, our webserver did not crash and was reachable all the time. We are now cleaning things up again and sadly this will take a little bit more time than just one hour...
