Very Bad Behavior for Crashed Joomla! Sites

Which is worse, a little spam or being offline for a month?

A major example shown below is because the bot blocker can crash the whole site and this poor webmaster has been in this state at a minimum, according to Google cache, since "retrieved on Jan 24, 2008". However, Live says the same site has been this way since "our crawler examined the site on 1/11/2008", so it's much worse.

Then I found another site down all month as Google cache shows "retrieved on Jan 2, 2008" so they've not only had anti-spam but anti-visitor as well, nothing to worry about.

Looked around the web and there are other Joomla! sites with similar issues as well which weren't completely fatal. I'm not sure why a few sites just crashed with the errors while others proceeded to display errors with page content.

All I can say is that these webmasters need a good site monitoring alarm service at a minimum.
