Okay, so I wanted to test... and did a bad thing by testing on my server.

I created a php script to flood with messages / members on a test board, and it literally crashed my server.

I would like to prevent this.

So can you enable some type of ID that is used to post and cannot be used more than once or something (Also for registration)

I am using DigiChat, which is a very targetted software due to some of the exploits, if kids find out that they can easily make a script to flood my server to kill it, that will be a HUGE issue.

This stuff does not work in phpBB, and I believe you guys need to enable some type of protection so it doesn't happen with E-Blah.

I like E-Blah very much and would like to keep the software, but since my server can't handle a load of requests at the same time, it's a very large issue using E-Blah.

heyyyyyyy

There's something on the mods board I created I believe. Also, you can turn on a little load limiting in the Admin CP. There are a few other things you could do, but you'd just have to research them. Enable a quick timeout, and also make a good time limit between user postings.

I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.
