That is why there is a script to stop 'abuse' so that people cannot unnecessarily flood the server, not because your little game overloaded the service.
GFY users never cease to amaze me with their arrogance and self-importance. I never thought that you, Smokey, was one of those people.

If you're going to use a service that has features in place to prevent abuse, don't slag it off simply because you are hitting the very filters that are in place to make sure that the service remains open for many, especialy when the AUP states that if you think you are going to be legitimately hitting the filters to get in contact with the reasons/use to whitelist the IP.

Good look in your quest.
