I have encountered no such issues (opening several tabs), but the site has been slow at times, or even unavailiable when I try to open it.

So this is what happened. I performed 3 searches in about a minute (all I needed to see were some quick game sales data) and discovered my IP was banned. Been browsing the site through a proxy since then.

I tend to open serveral tabs at once otherwise and hadn't had an issue before.
