Lately, as I began working on editing drafts of my first adventure, I am suddenly starting to find that trying to access any parts of this site, such as the board index, or unread posts, or some of my other postings for reference, regularly but erratically (happens at least once a night) results in nothing loading, and it timing out, like it used to do during the Denial Of Service attacks. After a number of timeouts, I finally get a GoDaddy Security page, part of which says:
Block ID: TMP021
Block reason: Your IP address was temporarily blocked by our IDS.
It takes me around 20 minutes for things to finally be functional again, which is a pain, especially when it is just past midnight, I saved the latest version of my draft, refreshed the New Posts page, and all I wanted to do was check unread posts, logout of the forum, close my browser, shut down my computer and go to bed, only to have to wait around 20 minutes to do that!

I never seemed to have this problem until I started editing drafts and deleting old ones. In fact, tonight, after loading my latest draft, I then decided to post this problem to this Technical forum first thing. But, when I tried to open the board index in a new tab so I could go to the Technical forum, once again, the long wait with a number of timeouts before the GoDaddy page came up again, and finally, shortly afterward, access to the site again (I passed the time by doing more editing of my adventure draft), and am now able to post this problem here.
