Frequent access problems: “Oops! We ran into some problems"

[Chazmo]

Hi folks,

I see the following frequently. On another forum, it was noted that A.I. bots (or should I just say A.I.s) were putting a tremendous load on that forum. I wonder if the same is happening here? I was just wondering if I was alone in seeing this (could be a networking problem for me)...

Theres a lot of scrapping going on.
Could they not make a virtual internet so the bots can scrape that..
Actually I think thats what they want to do.

Hey @Admin there are several AI bots to be removed from the user list, and several threads to be deleted.
It is a pity to see that the site is not maintained.

I replied back to your messages today, just so you know.

Yes we have been getting attacked for the past 3 weeks. We do only manually approve new users, but some of them are answering our questions legitimately, which is causing problems. We are looking to make that application to join a little mor robust to try and prevent this from happening. We also have cleaned up the spam. Thanks for your message.
