We are back! I don't know exactly what the problem is (yet) and can't promise it won't happen again, but I anticipate talking to our host soon.

Hi everyone, the forum is currently unreachable due to what appears to be a server issue. This is not something fixable on our end, but I have contacted the host to see if they changed something. It should be back by the BC tomorrow, but I will keep you posted!

Update: the fix has been implemented on the forum. It won't take effect immediately, but should help us within the next few days. Please let me know if you have any trouble or error messages in that time. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I will be implementing what is hopefully a fix for our bot issues in the next hour (~4pm EST on Sunday 8/17). It shouldn't impact you, but please let me know if you experience anything strange during that time. Thank you!

Hi again everyone, Cloudflare has been paused for the moment for troubleshooting. You should not encounter any logout errors moving forward, although the bots are still overloading the forum. This is an issue that is impacting a lot of forums right now, but I'm working on it. Thanks again!

Hello everyone, Cloudflare protection is now active on the forum! Please email or message me if you have any problems logging in or accessing the forum. Moving forward, you may be asked to verify if you are human- this is normal and helps protect us from bots!

We are back! Please see the announcement post for an update, and let me know if you have any issues with the forum!

Hello TBCers, I hit a snag with the first attempt at updating, but verified that the backup is working fine, and will give it one more try tonight. Either way, the forum should be back up and running within an hour or so! Thanks for bearing with me.

One last update for now: the upgrade process will begin at 10pm EST tonight. Please note that you may need to log back in once it returns (hopefully within an hour or two). Please let me know if you have any problems doing so!

Hello everyone, this is just a reminder that the forum will be down while it upgrades starting between 8-10pm EST tonight (Thursday, 7/24). I'm not sure how long it will be down for, and it may look different when it comes back, but that should be temporary. Thanks again for your patience.

Update: please note that the forum will be down for an indeterminate time on Thursday, July 24th, starting at 8pm EST. This is necessary for important updates that should address the ongoing bot issue. Please message me here if you have any questions during that time!

Update: the ongoing issues were due to a bot attack, and have been resolved for now. I’ll work on making changes to prevent this problem in the future. Thank you for your patience!

Hi everyone, you may have noticed some slowdown and error messages on the board- I am investigating them, but it might take a couple of days to get to the bottom of it. Apologies for the issue, and please message me/ check back here for updates!
