Revillution is back online.

[Smokey]

So for about a week we've been bombarded by AI scraper bots. A real pain in the backside and it's made our site nearly inaccessible. I've done some tinkering on the backend over the past week and decided to finally turn the forum back online and test out the new stuff I've done.

So far it seems to be holding, fingers crossed we've at the very least mitigated the issue. It'd be a real pain to have to move hosts or even platforms at this point, so i'm hoping things have calmed down a bit.

I'm glad you could get it back up and running!

Hopefully, those nasty AI bots will leave your forum alone now.

I hope the AI bots will stop bombarding your forum! Happy to see Revillution is back online!

So far, they've been managed after the tweaks I made. Only time will tell......always have FS to fall back on if absolutely necessary though.

Nice to see it back 🙂

I see you have CloudFlare in front of Revillution and that you have block AI training mode on - is that not helping at all?

To some extent, yes. I also updated my robots.txt file a bit to include a few more bots and that also seems to be helping a lot.
