You have to type in an anti-bot word before you can get to the site. If it helps them fight off DOS attacks then I guess it's a good thing.

doesn't make sense since you will still be axx the server when you DOS the "bot" check taking it down. Unless it's on another machine to which you could just get past the picture login yourself and then DOS the next server that you find.Comment -
I don't know about these things. Maybe it's not a DOS thing. Anybody have any ideas about why Phoenix would be doing this?Comment -
Anything that helps keep the system up and running is a good thingComment -
i've been having to type in that "keyword" thing for over a week now.
i was kinda hoping they were logging everyones ip's that typed it in and successfully logged in and then put our ip's on a list of approved ip's or something and then when our ip goes to their domain it would recognize it and not put up that little keyword box.
but i guess if it is keeping them from getting dos attacks i can except an extra 3 second hassle.Comment -
much better than with matchbook where i have to provide them my IP every frigging day!Comment -

It was a DOS measure. When they had their issues two Saturdays ago - I was told by PM that this was a measure being used against a complex DOS attack.Comment
