There was a period of heavy load about twenty minutes ago due to an experimental bot that ’should’ follow robots.txt files, but of course didn’t, because few actually do. This ‘experimental bot’ called Twiceler has now been banned from accessing the server by IP and useragent.

Abuse, regardless of where it comes from, will not be tolerated.
