Looks like load causing apache to die based on the monitor. There's only 4 accounts suspended on Tommy. One account suspended on Tommy is for load (mrj's account, he posted earlier). The others are banned for malware, child porn, and phishing.

Good call. I've seen this before. His site probably got posted on reddit or something. They call it the hug of death.

 

Looking at the firewall IP blocklist explains it...this was a DoS attack.

I tried to keep his site online by blocking people with a lot of connections, but it wasn't enough. Suspension was the only solution. He got unsuspended a couple times and within minutes the downtime would start again.
