Some nonsense

[shiney]

So we're being scraped by a number of bots / botnets / people and I had to manually filter a shit ton of IP addresses at the server level. If someone says they are unable to reach NPF because reasons please direct them to email me or shoot me a FB message / post on the NPF wall / get in touch via Nikose. There may be some false positives in there but I was pretty specific to get the folk looking for invalid shit.

I'm getting blocked. (Posting this via phone) I was doing some searches to find old posts last night which might have made me look illegitimate/like I was hitting a ton of pages.

Incidentally, searches over the sketches thread lead to dead links, I think because it breaks pages early if they're too long, maybe?

[Nikose Tyris]

It happens to me occasionally too. Ironically.

[Sithdarth]

I think my home IP was hit. I was probably idling in the Ajax chat at the time.

Got you RPG, and Sith. Nikose I haven't hit on any matches of yours yet but if you find yourself getting blocked FB me with your current IP and I'll check the rules.

Fooling around with htaccess to do some more in-depth prevention there may be a couple 500 errors while I dick around.

Clear your browser caches and/or do a hard refresh on the main page and any sub forums if you're experiencing blank pages.

Enter the chat if you're still experiencing issues and let me know, I'm in there. There are a few things that are still being petulant.

[Hatake Kakashi]

I'm good, so far. Don't immediately kill incoming from Osaka; it's probably me.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Things seem fine for me so far.
