If you can bring a text-based site down with an L7 attack it was kinda crap to begin with.

Or optimize the website. A knowledge base that isn't being actively updated shouldn't need to hit PHP to serve unauthenticated requests.
It doesn't excuse the scrapers but a lot of websites are just needlessly wasteful.
