A swarm of bots has been hitting the server very hard for the past couple hours or so. Not sure what's up yet. Activated a protective measure from CloudFlare for now, each visitor gets to see a wait screen for 5 seconds. Sorry bout this.

Yes, badly behaved bots are unacceptable
The problematic ones all use the same query string ... and they really love the diplogaming forum.

I already was surprised about the Cloudflare link appearing when I loaded Apolyton.
Perhaps the Bots are from an AI which first wants to improve its strategic skills in a game of Civ, before moving against humanity ... or from Putin, because we don´t talk all to nice about him hereTamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

The Colony of bats seems to have moved on about 6 hours ago. Since then Poly has had her panties down around her ankles as per usual.Comment

They're bots, not bats, so can't be a colony -- a colony requires colonists, and bots don't colonize anything! They just cluster together and **** things up.

That's an awful thing to say about Poly, horsie. Just because she's textually active....I wasn't born with enough middle fingers.
