Especially if the "leecher" is merely a SE (publishing a very short excerpt along with a link directly to the GFY thread), which is exactly what STboards seems to be. As Joe said, his bot's activity equals to about 10 GFY regulars, each viewing 10% of the the daily posts. Clearly not enough to crash GFY.
