Access Denied?

Occasionally while browsing e*pvp, I get a white screen with a CAPTCHA saying "Access Denied. Enter Code to continue" or along the lines of that. What is happening? I never got these before last month

What's going on?
Your access is being denied.

It's prolly some kind of automated defence against spiders.

But shouldn't that only happen when posting or similar?

Spider defence is what I suggested o.o

To stop bots from search engines listing all of the site's content?

If it's not that, then, I have no clue why anyone would bother to stop people viewing the site.
