A couple times yesterday I got the Cloudflare bot verification followed by the 522 error.

A bit bizarre, wouldn't you say?

If Cloudflare is limiting the requests, how is the server overloaded?  Didn't someone mention earlier that it could suggest the server bill has gone unpaid?

Welcome aboard, Don! I just approved your account, so you should be able to post as a regular member.

Do you mean that you have appointed a successor to take over the forum? Great!

Quote from: D Black on Today at 12:20 PMGood thing! After 31 years, the Stormfront server is completely trashed this time, and through a different method than bot flooding.

It won't be back for a while. And it will be in a different form with new forum software, probably xenForo, rather than ancient vBulletin, though with a similar layout.

Oh dear. I was hoping that when Xenforo-Stormfront came online, the old VBulletin-Stormfront could still exist as an archive. Is that possibility now off the books?

So long as the new Stormfront contains all the old posts, what need would there be for a separate archive?

What are the odds that Don Black and I would post at exactly the same time??!! 

Welcome, Mr. Black! Good that we will be able to receive updates on the progress of the new and improved Stormfront.

Jotunn, you may as well go ahead and register me since it looks like I'll be here for awhile.  I'm getting tired of messing with the glitchy verification process anyway.  I was going to tell you about that.

"the Stormfront server is completely trashed this time" kind of suggests to me that the old posts may be lost. If I'm wrong, hallelujah!

Registration is open. I'll appoint you as soon as I verify the account. I presume you'll be using the same name?
