I discovered that about 200 of my (most recent) additions to the IP blacklist were missing. I think I know what caused it.
Basically I have two different scripts to help me, one of which is automated. I think one of them overwrote the other.
I updated it now with the full master list and refreshed. It should be blocking the ones that need to be blocked now.
The site should respond faster as of now.
Thank you for your patience.
