More fun than those blatant actions would be to slowly degrade performance,
by inserting a delay on every GET, or limiting the bandwidth, or randomly
404ing requests (or 404ing all requests of a given type), or doing
non-obvious things like refusing all cookies, or stripping all JS, or
removing the referer, or changing the client software. You could make it
worse over a period of days.
