For the curious, back before I had other measures in place to prevent spam I was trying to do it by blocking IPs. Problem is it got to be too many and caused a memory and/or processing issue (I don't fully understand the whys of it). Anyway, it had been like that for a while (many months) and was causing some problems on the back end but I didn't think it affected access to the forums. Why it was acting up now for people I have no idea. I was finally able to go in and delete all the blocked IPs (I was getting the same error everyone else was getting before, but only when I went in to edit those IPs). Once I was able to delete that stuff everything apparently went back to normal.
