The offer is there.

BTW, there is no page flip issue on Proboards either.

I'm willing to offer my Proboards site as a new home if anybody is interested.

https://newstalkback2.proboards.com/

I think it is more user friendly in some regards, such as automatic URL recognition, image size reduction and navigation generally.

I've never had Member Run Boards but I'm willing to set them up for the same people who run them here.

Something to consider.

Bobby it may not be a DDOS attack. It could just be badly designed bots that collect data for training AI natural language models.

But why would it need over 4,000 guests to do it? -

sounds malicious to me.

So how would it work?

Set up the skeleton, members create accounts and copy across posts and threads that are active/relevant?

MRB Mods are GMods in their board with ban powers deactivated.

https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/bots/what-is-a-bot/

Bots can be:

Chatbots: Bots that simulate human conversation by responding to certain phrases with programmed responses
Web crawlers (Googlebots): Bots that scan content on webpages all over the Internet
Social bots: Bots that operate on social media platforms
Malicious bots: Bots that scrape content, spread spam content, or carry out credential stuffing attacks


How can companies stop malicious bot activity?
Bot management solutions are able to sort out harmful bot activity from user activity and helpful bot activity via machine learning. Cloudflare Bot Management stops malicious behavior without impacting the user experience or blocking good bots. Bot management solutions should be able to identify and block malicious bots based on behavioral analysis that detects anomalies, and still allow helpful bots to access web properties.

To learn more about setting up bot protection, see our Developer documentation.

It is selfish, not malicious. They use a range of IP addresses to make it hard for websites to block them.

Yep, I've set up the Member Board area over there just now in case anyone wants to take up the offer.

I would assign members Moderator roles on the relevant boards.

Similar powers to Member Board Moderators here.

Now, while it is true that Proboards used to be easy to sabotage by complaining to Proboards, they don't tend to nuke boards like they used to.

I would Globally moderate with fairly loose "rules".

I don't like bullies so if someone became a persistent bully, I would take action to curtail that, but otherwise, I'm pretty easygoing.  Smiley

I would not propose bringing all the history from here over there, but members would be free to copy over posts if they like.

Anyhow, if people want to give it a go, fine. If not, that's OK too.  Cool

Bad actors.


Persons and groups who abhor ALL independent views being openly, publicly expressed.

Stalinists, CCP, Marxists, ISLAMISTS, National Socialists, WOKE, LEFTIST supporters....wanna-be tyrants.

'They' [supporters of such groups] will always    seek the means to suppress    all open and publicly expressed views....
which do not align with, or would be an open challenge their own objectives and agenda.

FASCISTS.

Persons and groups.....who would justify using oppression and violence
against persons [and groups] who would support open, public expression, and open public debate.

Because all supporters of fascism, know very well,
that open, public expression, and open public debate would always threaten the achievement of their own 'social' agenda.


.


John 3:19
And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil.
20  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light,
that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.


John 18:37
.....Jesus answered.......
To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world,
that I should bear witness unto the truth.
Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.


Psalms 25:8
Good and upright is the LORD:
therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9  The meek will he guide in judgment:
and the meek will he teach his way.
10  All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth
unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
.......
12  What man is he that feareth the LORD?
him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13  His soul shall dwell at ease;
and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14  The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him;
and he will shew them his covenant.


Psalms 97:10
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil:
he preserveth the souls of his saints;
he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11  Light is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart.
12  Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous;
and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.


Proverbs 14:34
Righteousness exalteth a nation:
but sin is a reproach to any people.


2 Timothy 3:1
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous,
boasters,
proud,
blasphemers,
disobedient to parents,
unthankful,
unholy,
3  Without natural affection,
trucebreakers,
false accusers,
incontinent,
fierce,
despisers of those that are good,
4  Traitors,
heady,
highminded,
lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.
6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses,
and lead captive silly women laden with sins,
led away with divers lusts,
7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

bobby,

You did ask.   !      Smiley
