Hi! Sorry it took me a bit to get to this, I've been hacking to keep the server up for the last several hours.

Lots of people are botting, I don't think there's anything wrong if you bot too. There's a tiny bit of client-side rate limiting and originally i had server side rate limiting too, but I got rid of that a while ago (I was cutting anything I could to speed things up).

alright yes this sounds funny now but at the time my rate-limiting implementation was very slow!
