IT Networking question about spam

How hard is it to block an IP address that hitting a website.  I've noticed over the last few months, the  "axon-technologies.net/forum" has been attacked and no one is doing anything to stop it.  Is it because it's a lot of work?  Just curious.  The site has a lot of good information on Axon gear and I'm afraid it might be shut down. I asked the same question on another midi guitar board.

    From a none expert point of view ..if the IP address of an attacker is known, blocking it is easy - such as entering the IP into your router list of blocked IP address. However, most attackers' IP address will not be fixed or known - otherwise the attacker will be revealing it/themselves and can be reported easily.

    So, the website server needs some sort of load balancing or some logic to guess if a particular hit is a robot / attacker and either delays or kill it. Then most attacker will probably design it's attack to look like a regular user request to make it hard for the server logic to guess if it's being attacked..
