Yesterday there was a concerted DDOS attack, and CloudFlare saved FT from crashing. That’s good.

Some of us lost post content. Not so good.

But we can mitigate content loss by saving periodically or, in the case of lengthy content like reviews, etc. creating that content in our preferred app or program and then copying.

Yep, it’s an inconvenient extra step. But it’s less exasperating than having the CloudFlare screen pop up and losing your work, IMO. (Yes, I’m speaking from experience.)

I won’t conduct most moderation actions during CloudFlare intercepts, either.

Receiving same on every single new page/thread/topic clicked on.

Cache/cookies all cleared etc.

Maybe somebody got upset the closure of the Pre-evacuation thread in the DL forum.
