How is it that you are parsing the lodestone data, and how long have you been successfully doing it? I had written my own signature grabber a while back in php. It parsed the lodestone every half hour to update my signature with my character's data. Now, after a couple months, it appears I have been blocked. All I get when I try is "The server is experiencing unusually heavy traffic. Please try again later. " I discovered this today. When I loaded the page on a different webserver, it grabbed the data just fine. Trying to figure out what caused me to be blocked. Half an hour too frequent to look up one page? I had read some forums online of others having this same issue.

How are all these signature generator websites able to constantly update tons of player's signatures without being blocked?
