What happened to the bug numbers today

In case you’re wondering why there are suddenly bugs numbered in the 8000s when before they were in the 4000s, it appears that today somebody’s custom code went nuts and submitted about 4000 spurious bug reports, which I’ve now closed.

Looks like it is still hammering the tracker

I just modified the bug script to reject any requests from 129.93.229.141 (prairiefire.unl.edu). If this is your IP address, and you’re reading this, PLEASE STOP.

Can we physically remove the INVALID bugs from the database? When triaging, I like to check new bugs against the All Bugs display and this is now becoming extremely slow to load.

I’ve deleted them. Does everything look ok now?

Yes, looks good.
