I'm glad it worked out!

Just as a FYI, if you feel like going down the WAF rabbit-hole, Cloudflare has
a free/hobby version and it does a good job.  Granted, it's not a silver
bullet, as a WAF will never completely cover for application security flaws,
but it'll help knock out a lot of the script kiddie/scanner garbage.

I'm working on building on my BBS now, and I'm placing Cloudflare in line. As
soon as I get a little further downstream I'll post up the details for
everyone.

Cheers
