Query on Recent Forum Jankiness

Do all the allegedly vietnamese bot names with 'bet' 'com' or 'win' in the username string have anything to do with the evening server time jankiness that looks like a DDOS to legit users? This is reproducible almost any night in recent memory and amusing if not annoying. One actually checked my profile while logged in within the last couple of weeks which haha never seen that.

I ask staff because no one else can comment without speculating and it is nice to be seen. I brought these particular bots up via unofficial channels before. However, thousands have been created I expect completely and are still constantly registering using these now. There were some online when I posted this at 7:44.

I ask because I'm curious and because I'm not alone with this issue I can guarantee. And I ask for them and it's nice to hear from you beyond holidays in pleasant cheer. I hear fixing old codebases can be done quite radically well if supervised by someone who understands enough to do it in a testing environment and not straight to prod but that is of course unsolicited grapevine word of mouth offered just because :)

Thanks and the usual from myself sincerely,

The jank that looks like the forum is being DDoS'd has been steady for the past couple days. Was anything of value lost? Maybe but if a new or interested party wanted to use the site and is getting the same behavior then I don't see why they'd bother. I have workarounds but even if the winbots aren't involved with e.g. a bad cloudflare config I just want to go on record that the site breaks during normal use under this condition seemingly if a fly farts in Appomattox. Maybe the server cooling loop failed again and is leaking beer? I type that with all sincerity and in respect for history.

Edit: I'm rescinding my request for comment from staff because some of them still read the site. But that can't and shouldn't imply I wouldn't welcome one on anything they wish.
