jfc the amount of bot traffic going on these days is completely untenable.

I run some smallish websites at a university, on a modest shared LAMP stack server, and omfg these bots.

They don't respect robots.txt. They don't respect any kind of error messages. They don't even respect 400 response codes. They just absolutely hammer everything at absurd rates, 24/7. If I change something and a formerly valid URL becomes a bad request, they'll just ignore it and keep hitting that exact same URL a thousand times a day for months afterward, 400 errors be damned. If I put up a CAPTCHA they keep trying the original URL, but start hitting every separate generated CAPTCHA interstitial URL a hundreds of times a day forever TOO.

It's fuckin' nuts and I cannot even with these goddamn bots.

I'm regularly seeing 1-2 orders of magnitude more traffic from bots than I am from actual people.
@murz @dougfort So I thought it had something to do with the neck and a little tuning module up top, but on a closer look, it seems like it comes out of the board, does a little loop de loop, and goes back down to the board. Like a secondary degaussing coil or something? Very mysterious.

Which frame would make this look right?
