Hey all, if you tried to visit the last 24ish hours, you might have seen that the forum was down (along with all my websites). We were getting hammered with bots and a DDOS attack that essentially took down all my websites and caused Dreamhost (our hosting provider) to disable my sites. I spent several hours trying to get a handle on things, and things are back up now.
BUT, I've had to enable Cloudflare protection on the site, so occasionally you might be challenged to prove you are a human. It can be annoying, but at the same time, it will also stop the attacks and should actually greatly increase the speed of the websites/forums going forward.
