Bots

Frankly, I have no idea what the hell you're even talking about at this point.
It sounds like you're just throwing around buzzwords you learned somewhere.
This topic is talking about the number of bots crawling the forums and slowing it down...
No one's talking about AI from 2013 but you...

I said it's likely not a LLM and you said I was wrong..

I said automated posting was here in 2013 when I made this account and you said I was wrong..

I'm actually interested in how someone who knows nothing about the subject matter plans on telling anyone a solution.. AI or phpBB posting automation.. How you don't know it's been happening here decades is enough that you shouldn't even be saying anything..

Okay boomer.

Edit: Also, I never called you wrong. I said you weren't paying attention. Which, seeing as you replied with a bunch of unrelated nonsense, you weren't.

I will take a closer look to CloudFlare, a ton of sites use it for a reason I guess

Hi Fred,
If you use CF, please don't require JavaScript on the forums.
Being able to browse the PB forums without javascript from my terminal is one of the things that keeps me coming back.
The only thing that really breaks this I think is if you put your site in under-attack mode, where everyone needs to answer a captcha to view pages...
