    When? If you're talking in the past 2-3 days it was probably due to the manual server move, but otherwise I wouldn't know.

    @Tony raised the cloudflare protection level because bots were weighing the site down. It's hard being popular. :blobsad:

    Man, now I have to turn my JavaScript back on to get through cloudflare, just to turn it off when I click off to the bigger sites with their endemic redirecting JavaScript ads. Le sigh, the price I pay for free, morally grey entertainment...

    Say I'm a programmer, and i wanted to get notified about the novels I read..

    I'm considering myself a genius and make myself a bot that would notify me if theres anything new on my reading list...

    Other people would say im an asshole, but I say potato potatoh...

    Naa, it's a real term distributed denial of service.

    Bot usage could also be used for linking to the novels. Instead of checking every translator site they just use NU goes to the chapter and copies it for whatever reason. They might also want access to the forums to post malicious things.
