Re: Problems with posting/ replying?
I've just removed the Cloudflare check/cache.* Does this make any difference?
* It'll come back on the moment the AI bots spot the opportunity to start training on STF again.

Well it took the bots just 8 hours to sniff out we had disabled the Cloudflare attack mode bringing down the server again. Cloudflare and the server are both back up again now.
AI is crippling the online world destroying any open site it feeds on for 'training' (aka stealing other people's work). Our upgrade costs have more than doubled in the last 6 months due to them cornering memory and storage chips. It means our IT suppliers have upped their cost by over 30% and we expect more. Any business using IT - that's about every business will be having these costs handed on and eventually to the consumer. Oh, don't forget the environmental cost and energy grab.
AI can really help us in some fields especially pattern matching. Summarising stuff, correcting grammar, generating 'funny' or indecent images is very costly in the damage it is doing to society and the economy. Please use LLM AI sparingly and only when it's really useful please. Don't let Copilot (if you are a Windows user) take control.
Rant over. Have a nice weekend or a noisy one if you are near Crystal Palace Park.

PS Reply with both Cloudflare on and off works for me as you can see. Check you have 'Remember Login' ticked on sign-in.

I've finally managed to get back in here after getting logged out and struggling for a week or more to get in.
