Wouldnt it be better to remove the faucet completely? (If bot farms are a problem) They still can make money via betting and investing the savings. Its better than just shut down the site. (Except the exit scam, off course)
Since the start of the year, I have to use a VPN/Proxy to reach the site, because its now blocked in my country. My private customer cable IP distinguishes me from a bot farm, now I have a bad feeling. Especially because often I got the message that someone else free rolled on this IP.

My guess is that the website has some vulnerably/bugs and hacker try to bring it down or get in. Some weeks ago, the website was occasionally down in the CET-morning and comes up at lunch, when the US people start the day.
