Bot Attack

Post by bfrd »

I know you guys are getting tired of all of these messages. I had to turn on a more serious defense against bots. You may have noticed having to pass a Cloudflare bot challenge. I hope this is only temporary, but right now it is necessary. Please let me know if this extra validation is *too* intrusive. My hope is that the challenge is less bothersome than a slow or down site.

No worries Matthew. We're just glad you're on OUR side Sir!

Thanks for your ongoing efforts on keeping the forum protected. As for the Cloudflare challenge, it just adds to the mystique and exclusivity of the forum! :lol:
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

We're talking an Extinction Level Event here. I'm off to buy my bodyweight in canned goods! :crazy:

Wait Stokesy!, before you turn into a mega prepper... Perhaps we can establish a counter-intelligence campaign to feed them misinformation. We can put it in a briefcase and ensure it falls into the enemies hands. I know I can provide my share of misinformation.....Just a thought :tongue: :lol:
