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.
