My theory is that everyone and their dog is out there training AIs on just about everything they can grab on the internet.

It could probably be solved by moving to different server infrastructure, but that's above my pay grade.
You do deserve a pay increase. I'd vote for doubling you CP pay.

Perhaps it's time to do away with non-member lurkers. I've suggested that a few times over the years, but it sounds like it's far worse now than ever before.

Yeah, it's felt like the board is getting pseudo DDoSed all day. Your hypothesis on the bots really checks out.

Problem is that guests can't see the forum AT ALL when guest access is off, and that includes Google's spider. If we leave it off for long, literally no one would ever find us. And while that's not the worst thing in the short term, guests see a lot of ads, and those pay the bills.

I've turned guests off for today because I don't have the time to dig into it at the moment, but eventually it needs to come back on.

Fair enough.

What's your problem with AngelFire?

myselff77 02-26-2025 08:52 PM
Is it possible to just block IPs from Asia and Russia unless coming from a registered user? That way those bots are all stopped, but the Dongbot can still access the site?

Or does Russia and China now send all their bots through VPNs in the US?

Just dont change the look/interface.

I have seen Twobills and orangemange and I hate it.

We banned the kid probably a dozen times. He's like ****ing herpes.

Seemed a second slow today.

The first A.I. environment I set up for the military in 2010 I needed to give 150 bots permissions manually. It was stupid but “security”. I thought they were FOS back then and still do.
