Consider yourself effing lucky. CloudFu*k blocked me from using the site for the last few hours. It insisted I solve a Captcha but wouldn't display one to solve!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! Normally it is just a case of allowing Cloudflare and Google in NoScript, but not today. I'm pig sick of the sh***y Cloudflare. I'm so pissed off with its continued harassment I'm sorely tempted to log off WP and never come back again. Alex can find another mod/admin gullible enough to take the poison chalice. If it isn't the endless effing error messages it is the crap about the site being too busy, come back in a few minutes and now with Cloudfu*k messing with me all the time I've just about had enough of this fuc*ing site. :x

i (very) occasionally get the site busy message, but it has always just been a momentary obstacle, ranking quite low on the scale of internet aggravations. i never heard of cloudflare before so i looked it up - seems to be some sort of weird DNS service. if that is your ISP's default, it shouldn't be hard to find another DNS server to use. having to jump through 3rd party hoops like that to access websites is crazy.

^ CloudFlare is a third party service used by Wrong Planet and occasionally it fuc*s up real badly and won't let people gain access to the site without entering a captcha and today it screwed up really badly and wouldn't even show the captcha it wanted solving! It appears to randomly pick on members based on their geographical/IP location. It has been giving me s**t for the last few days. The principle of CloudFlare is that it is supposed to enable people to gain access to a site even when that site is under a very heavy load. Unfortunately CloudFlare sometimes does the exact opposite of that and stops people gaining access to a site! Alex even pays good money for this sh***y service!

So have the bots aßaulting your ſite learned to tell a long s from an f? Do they know, in the ſtandard roman forms of theſe letters, to check whether there are nubs on both ſides or only on the left? No problem! Theſe new and improved captchas now feature long s-es that look even more like f-s by including a not-ſo-ſubtle hint of the right nub. Enjoy! :P

LOL. er, 'scuse me - i meant to say ROFLMAO. makes no sense either logically or technically. well, ok, once net neutrality is fully dead and buried, that kind of thing will happen all the time. but that shouldn't affect you over on your side of the pond.
