As of 5am this morning, the site started to come under attack with increasing intensity during the day.
Regulars will know this has happened before, so we have swung into action with contingency plans. Hopefully you won't notice.
When the attack is over we will revert to standard operating measures.

Yes I got a human check when I first loaded the forum and had to relogin.
The forum came under attack last night and this morning, so we have taken action to mitigate the attack this morning.
It was just a DDOS attack, so no attempt was made to do anything, just flood the forum with requests in an attempt to take it offline.
You may get a challenge response today while we deal with this issue.
