You may have noticed the latency has disappeared.

The latency was caused by a serious bot attack on our site. While there are mediations that can be made on a case-by-case basis at the server level, I don't have access to that capability.

To resolve the issue, for the time being, I have turned off Guest access to the site. This means that the only way to view the site is as a registered user who is logged onto the site. If you ever look at the site while not logged in, you won't be able to so that for the time being.

I plan to turn Guest access back on, but I want to give it a little time for the bots to think they can't get in any more.
