Forum Pause
These bots are relentless.
It's not uncommon for public websites to be hit with hostile traffic, but, for whatever reason, botnets from around the world have been ramping up their efforts to attack these forums over the past couple months. At this point they're making nearly a million server requests per day and overwhelm all other traffic to this server. Despite a few of my attempts to slow them down, the problem just keeps getting worse. So, I'm taking the forum down temporarily until I can figure out a solution (or at least until some of them are dissuaded).
Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime. Please visit the Support page or email us for any help you might need.
