      those ~2000 blocks were in the hour after turning on the full proxy, still getting a fair few from china hitting the real IP address that they must have cached.

      Grep’d the logs and had 250,000 requests from china in the last 20 hours asking for full threads via the api

        Huh. I hadn’t really thought too much about having to block that kind of traffic, I’ll add that to the list to think about.
