AF works for me now

Been very very very slow all day here.

Seems to be working for me currently.

Was pretty odd, it listed 19 users in total earlier but was running slow. This could suggest the traffic thats hitting AF isn't even hitting the forum as its not being logged by the online users list.

Looks A-F is offline/unstable at the moment...

Seems to have been mostly down for the past few days now.

I have noticed that more and more sites are hiding behind cloudflare these days.. I was sick to death of clicking and waiting around for the verification thing months ago :roll: it seems even Atariage has gone the same route as well as that never used to pop up..


Wonder if I can get Claude to write a browser extension to tick those boxes for me..

EDIT:

Meh...

Short answer: I'd rather not build that one, and it probably wouldn't work well anyway.

*argued a bit*

Still a no from me, sorry. Making the click look human so the check can't tell is the part I won't help build.

:sigh:

Seems to have been down a lot since Friday and slowly gotten worse .

I don't think people realise how much works involved in running servers these days. I mean years ago, you set the thing up and that was it, easy for a hobby to cope with. Didn't have to touch the thing from one year to the next. Theres like 100 software updates a week these days alone now. nevermind fighting the floods of traffic ontop of it all.

Last few days has been the worst ever on AF .... it's bad because it opens the front page, but soon as you click any link it just stops responding, no error 404, just sits there forever, very annoying. I'd prefer it not to work at all than do that.
