When you get to the forum you might notice CloudFlare double checking if you are human.  We keep getting attached my stupid Bots.  Apparently bingbot is the bot causing all the issues now.  I'm trying to block that bot to see if we can get the site running faster... stand by.

It's so odd.  The front page of the site loads slow for me, but once in a thread or making a post it goes fast.  Stick with me, we'll get this working right!  :twothumbsup:

Hi Cody same thing main page loads slow .But  after that very quick and works fine Aussie

It looks like all the forum pages and the main website work great, but the main index (forum main page) is still slow.  We'll keep working on it and I hope we can get it fixed...

Works fine for me after the cloudflare check.

Everything should be 100% up and running smoothly now.   :twothumbsup:   The decoders page went down too and we have it up and running good again.   :tool:

You have my word that I'll continue to do everything I can to keep things running smooth and fast.   :)

I also have not experienced any issues with the site. However, the "human" validation is getting a bit annoying. Every time I access the site, even if I had just stepped away but stayed logged in, it rechecks.
It is certainly not a big deal, and if it keeps us and the site safe then it's all good.  :yessir:

I'm going to turn that off now that the AI Bot attack appears to be over.  Let's see how it works but if they attack again I may need to turn it back on...   :twothumbsup:

Moparts has this same check as well as PerformanceYears.  Py.com

Thank you for turning it off when unneeded. 
And of course, thanks for keeping it going.  Glad to see you on the site again.

Sometime this past week I started getting a 403 Forbidden error 'cloudflare'.   Figured it was a temporary issue but it hasn't cleared up.  We're using AT&T Air internet (5G).  I bounced the router to get a new address, no change.  I have to use VPN (ExpressVPN) to get past the block.  My mobile phone also can't connect via cell service; its gets addresses in the same range as the att router, so cloudflare is apparently blocking a range of ATT addresses here.

This is not good!   :angry:   Has anyone else seen this issue?

No issues accessing the site.  I wonder if AT&T and Verizon share resources?

working great for me. i would post something as soon as I saw a glitch, but since you switched it on and off a few weeks ago, it's been really great from san francisco hub.
