I was reading another forum and it's owned and administered by an individual. He has at least as many members as Pelican. He stated yesterday that 60% of the bots were Russian based.He mentioned something about bots "indexing" his forums (he owns a few) and that at times they really slow down his servers.

So he banned all of Russia. Now, IDK about VPN's and all that. Maybe due to the volume of data VPM's are not financially feasible for bots.

I just thought this was interesting being a tech luddite.
