RE: Aanndd we're back
There's a few things I can try.  Though I'm not seeing much slowdown from my end.  I can see some really slow queries in the logs, but there aren't many of them.

Bots no longer seem to be that much of a problem now.

I doubt bots care about the size of the forum.  It's usually related to how easily they find it.  I find that inbound links seem to help them find forums to target; that or just a regular web search.

That's what I was implying by that. Generally, larger forums will show up on search results before ones such as EP, which really has no SEO. Searching for anything PSP related, unless incredibly specific, will not return results for EP. This is why I mentioned the MyBB version being ran.

RE: Aanndd we're back
Spammers don't really care about what version you run, so I don't really understand you there.
They don't really search for anything PSP related, and spambots don't mind going through many pages of results that regular users don't.  Stuff like "inurl:showthread.php?tid=" and going through hundreds of results, or following links from other forums etc.

^ That forum gets way more bot hits than EP, is much smaller and has much less activity.  It does, however, have inbound links from here, and I've found that most bots enter the forum via the linked pages.

RE: Aanndd we're back
Reason I suggested the version is because a lot of bots will use "intext:* as well. I was just using PSP content as an example. Though bots following links makes more sense.

RE: Aanndd we're back
I see, though wouldn't that be the same across all versions?

Anyway, I've made a few changes - does it seem to be any better now?

 Results from ℋiЬЬyℬot™ - "better than Google"
Seems a lot better now with no slow page loading for me.
