    Still running on Vb4

    Would have upgraded but a major hack in VB4 and I mean heavy as made it work for 650 towns in the UK.

    Getting hammered by bots like 15,000 people online when usual max would be 2,000

    Going to implement cloudflare so researching here for any hints.

    Hey ashy, welcome to vBMods.rocks!

    I have a client who also runs a vB4 forum that occasionally gets hit hard by heavy bot traffic and was getting "session table full" database errors. I made some server and database optimizations to address this issue. I also made some scheduled tasks in vB AdminCP to clear guests from the session table every 15 minutes. The forum may still see increased bot activity from time to time, which could temporarily slow down the site, but this traffic should no longer be able to crash or disrupt the database. Mitigating the bot traffic itself is a separate issue and can be addressed independently using Cloudflare.
