There's no easy way about it.
I've heard other sites that do the same thing; for the same reason. Plus I know Muddy Buddys site got taken down by a virus recently. We've not had much activity regarding it until mid this year (some yes but not the volume since). We'll definitely work on a longer term solution. But right now trying to mitigate "damage" while our admin is busy welcoming a new addition to his family.
