Is there any way to stop unregistered users from hammering my site and overloading the mysql server? I have a forum with very few visitors and only a cheap shared host, which is plenty for the 1 or 2 people that visit the site legitimately. However, I keep getting "mysql has gone away" errors, and I'm sure my host will shut the site down soon if the mysql load doesn't get reduced.
So, is there anyway to limit queries or other database load for unregistered users?
