Atari-forum access issues. Is anybody else affected?

[1024MAK]

I get this everytime I visit AF now . Its like many other sites, just gets annoying clicking the thing 50 times a day.

From what I quickly searched, CF fails on private browsers like Brave and filtered IP's like I use etc. So it seems any privacy things, CF trips up on

Cloudflare for A-F is currently in attack mode, hence why users are seeing the verification screen.

I don't have to click any box when using Firefox on Windows, on Linux, or on my Android smartphone. Or on my old Amazon Fire tablet (Silk Browser).

I don't see this in Brave.

Happens continuously on brave on my tablet every single time I load the page I get the CF box, though oddly for the most part it seems to automatically wave itself through. If I close the page and go back a few minutes later, It's back to the CF box again. If I leave the forum open, go away for a few minutes to read something somewhere else. Then simply go back to the tab, the page goes back to the CF box again. On my pc it does similar with chrome but I have to tick the box each time.

Yeah I get CF usage but Its worse than popup adverts now. I don't visit other forums at all anymore. So for AF specifically I don't really care. But being constantly bombarded with CF on so many sites these days.. I'm just tending to avoid them now. Constantly clicking the box on sites I do want to use multiple times each day was repetative a while ago and it just gets worse as time goes on These days I just close the browser and don't bother. Thats how sick of it all I am these days. It drives my girlfriend nuts as well.

Thanks. Make's sense. Problem is, it can never be turned off. People try then shortly after its back on again.

Not true. Some sites have different rules for different countries, so for example, U.K. IP address ranges my not see the Cloudflare screen at all most of the time. Combined with other measures that means that Cloudflare does not always have to be in the under attack mode.

In terms of having to tick a Cloudflare "are you human" box yesterday, it only happened to me once.

As you know, it's the scraper bots that have caused these issues. This is one reason why I want LLM AI regulated. To deal with the scraper bots.

FYI I am UK based and usually see the CloudFlare screen once a day.

Like others I am getting access consistently since they went to Cloudflare. I get Cloudflare "checking screens" all the time, not just on AF, I have a really common ISP that gets flagged. This is good though. I'm glad they have funding to do it!
