Too much website traffic, mostly from bots, is overwhelming the server/software and causing the site to go offline during the peaks in traffic.

The "Online Users" count on the left side of most pages is a count of page loads from the prior 15 minutes. Today we peaked so far at around 75,000 over 15 minutes. 50k here plus approx 25k redirected.
