First, that "obnoxious" page is on the CloudFare server. So, the FlyerTalk folks may not even be able to customize it.

Second, no offense to the people that run FlyerTalk, but I trust CloudFlare more when it comes to this issue. Personally, I'd rather see a page with CloudFlare branding because I know they are more adept at handling these issues than your average webmaster.

Finally, remember that FlyerTalk is free to you and me.
