Appulous put up a "Troll Bridge" to slow down the access onto their servers,
You now need to answer some questions to get in....

=====================================
http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/appdb/images/betamast.png The Troll Bridge
To continue, you must answer the following question: I wrote this command-line app to take revenge on those trying to sell cracked apps. (Click here if you hate this (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/appdb/wtftroll.html)) Your answer: So here's what's up. Appulous is popular. So popular that the sheer number of hits we get every second are enough to kill our server. So even though almost 3 million people come here a day, very few people are actually getting through.
So we're moving. We're in the process of getting more servers to split up the load, making Appulous crazy fast again. But that kind of setup doesn't appear overnight, and we need to do SOMETHING until then. Introducing the troll bridge.
In order to get in, You have to answer the question. It's that simple. If you're at all involved in the scene, the question should be ridiculously simple to answer. If the only thing you have to do with the scene is leeching from Appulous... well then it's not as easy. Go research if you want in that badly ;-)
Hopefully this will take traffic down low enough that the site will work great. Remember, though, THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY! No more troll after we get our new servers :).
Cheers!
