I'd imagine there's a lot of info on the forum that hasn't (yet) been ported over to the wiki or other websites yet. Plus, I generally find it easier to search on this forum than within groups on Facebook.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

I seem to recall claims that all the bots are from Hong Kong.  Is there a way to block all of Hong Kong from making GET requests to the forum?

Seems that the 404 errors Alex was talking about off forum got resolved.

Good to have the forum back, hope the bots are being kept at bay successfully.

When I'm using an incognito window and get that message before even getting to the login page, I know it's not to be taken literally.

I'm still seeing functionality issues, but I don't know if they're part of the problem or part of the fix.  Quoting multiple posts at once like this, for example, took some creativity on my part, presumably because of the multiple requests it required.

I am occasionally encountering a 502 error, but it comes back to normal on the next try.

I'm getting that error if I click a link in the "Recent Posts" list, but then if I go into the appropriate subforum and open the thread everything displays correctly.

Edited to add: I also just got that error when I clicked the "New" button next to a thread.

I think it's still getting banged on. :(
