Performance Increase - Many Requests Possible

Just a few tips, and a slight heads up.

If link node global.css and link node tabbed.css were moved to the document head in index.php rather than the body (where it is currently located) you could see a bit of a rendering quality increase.

Also, while extensively testing the site for XSS vulnerabilities (which there were none) I noticed I was able to open up about 4,500 concurrent requests to the server in about a 15 minute period. Which would mean any random skid with a vulnerability scanner could come in and repeatedly and extensively scan the site/server for vulnerabilities. I recommend limiting user requests to both prevent possible vulnerability scanning but also to limit the effectiveness of tools such as LOIC.

Judge, if you would like for me to search for anything else regarding vulnerabilities or possible speed/resource increases just let me know via PM.

Just giving a heads up. Oh and Judge, sorry I didn't ask for permission before checking XSS vulnerabilities. :3 (Don't beat me please)

I was actually thinking about limiting the requests myself actually.
And haha I already used a vulnerability scanner to test for any potential exploits, so don't worry about it!

But other than that, very good ideas; but it will take time to implement them.
